At UFC Seattle, Uzbekistan's Nursulton Ruziboev achieved a second-round TKO against Eric McConico, improving his MMA record to 3-1. Ruziboev expressed relief after his win, especially regarding the stress from his brother's recent weight-related fight cancellation. He emphasized his concern for his brother's well-being, which contributed to the pressure he felt leading up to his own fight. Moving forward, Ruziboev is eager to continue competing, potentially in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions, based on opportunities that may arise.
I'm so happy with this performance. A week ago, my brother's fight got cancelled because he couldn't make weight. We were stressed a little bit, and this win also has already fixed that straight, stated Ruziboev.
My brother, he's my real brother and he couldn't make his weight. When I saw him, he was so bad to my eyes, that's why this was a little bit stressed, not the fight [being] cancelled.
We're going to go home, we're going to celebrate this fight with my coaches, and then after that we'll see. Pretty soon we'll be back to the cage.
My manager told me we will have a chance in future for welterweight. Right now, I have fights at 185, but in future if they offer me 170, 185, we will get any of them.
