– Roma came out of this fight without injuries, – said Skaredin “”. – He hit his leg slightly on the elbow in the third round. I think she will heal fairly quickly. In principle, Roman is ready to return to the cage at the UFC tournament in Abu Dhabi in October. Yes, the card is full. But there are several middleweight guys from Russia and CIS countries, whom we can insure in case of emergency. Roma can be a substitute. It will be a good story to continue the contract and the interaction with the UFC. If that doesn’t work out, the plan is to enter the cage by the end of 2022. The Roma work visa is valid until the end of the year. Our plan is to finalize the contract with a bang, re-sign with the organization, get the third work visa and move on.
– You have one fight left under the contract with the UFC. From what I understand, you did not mention extending the contract.
A little over an hour has passed since the battle. I think we will finalize the contract, and a decision will be made based on the results of the last two fights. We believe in the best, we feel the support. My phone is on fire. I imagine Roma has.
