UFC fighter Aleksandr Topuria in the lightweight division has shared his thoughts on his future plans for the organization.
İdman.Biz reports that the athlete has stated his readiness to fight Russian Petr Yan.
"There is one fighter I want to fight. Merab is no longer the champion, and I have no doubt that he will return and take his belt from Petr Yan. If we put him aside, the only person I'm interested in is the champion. I'm not saying I deserve it, but that's what I want - I need someone with the belt. Merab is an exception. If he becomes champion again, I will quietly step aside. But he is not the champion right now, so I am interested in fighting Petr Yan," - Topuria's words were published by Marca.
