Today, I dedicated my victory in Batumi to the friendship of the Azerbaijani and Georgian people. It is very proud that Georgians, along with Azerbaijanis, support me. This support gives me extra motivation.
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Alim Nabiyev, seven-time world champion and three-time European champion, who won his third consecutive victory in the MMA competition held in Batumi, in an interview with AZERTAC.
"Today I am receiving offers from various fighting organizations. I will evaluate them. However, my main goal is to perform in the UFC, the world's most prestigious fighting league. To achieve this goal, I have to work harder and achieve consistent success in the international arena," Nabiyev emphasized.
