Nazim Sadikhov's opponent Nicholas Motta appeared in front of journalists at a press conference at UFC Fight Night.
Offsideplus.az reports that "Nazim treats every opponent in his career as the toughest opponent. What are your thoughts on Nazim?" Nicholas Motta answered the question as follows:
"It shows that he respects me, and I respect him. The UFC fight planners know what they are doing. Styles creates a fight. His fight will be a "banger". There will be a war in the Octagon. An entertaining meeting awaits us".
The Brazilian fighter has said that he has a chance to face N. Sadikhov:
"I moved from Brazil to the United States 8 years ago. Nazim also moved to New York when he was young. We grew up in the same area in New Jersey. Before the UFC, we fought in another competition. We could have met in that organization, and besides, it was possible that we would have met again after we both joined the UFC. At that time, Nazim's opponent was injured. Now, luck has come. The UFC finally brought us together."
He said that he would be ready to fight 4-5 rounds in the fight with Nazim:
"I am ready to fight 3 rounds. I trained well in Thailand. I can fight not only 3, but also 4-5 rounds."
