"The Russian middleweight improved to 12-0 after choking out Brazilian Djorden Santos on Saturday's preliminary card, having broken his hand in the first couple of minutes in the bout. That's now three victories, and three stoppages since joining the UFC last fall off a win on the Contender Series."
""A hundred percent. I told Mick Maynard [UFC matchmaker] yesterday, I talked with him, and [said] a couple names. He said 'we'll try something.' I'm 100% sure I need someone top 15, top 20.""
"The 25-year old revealed that he'd spoken to Maynard about "Marvin Vettori, Roman Dolidze, and Bo Nickal." It doesn't sound like any of those will be forthcoming. "He said Bo Nickal and Vettori have fights soon, and Dolidze [is going] up in weight.""
"With the hand injury, doctors "said five, six months I should rest." Though he plans to be back sooner. "I will try to come back fast, I'm a fast recovery. I hope four, five months I can fight again.""
