After the fight, Goltsov announced his desire to meet Ngannou, who has a contract with the PFL.
— A great victory for Goltsov over a strong opponent. It happens – you get caught in a choke hold. Goltsov is a great guy. As for his prospects in the fight with Ngannou… As we know, there are always chances. It all depends on Ngannou’s preparation. But such a fight is indeed taking place. In principle, Denis has good chances, because Ngannou does not know his strengths and weaknesses,” Goncharov told .
