Imavov talks about UFC future after Strickland win
“If that occurs, how I’ll deal with it, like I informed the UFC, I simply need to battle for the belt. In order that’s my level. It is the one battle I would like and I feel I deserve it and everybody is aware of I deserve it, it is Bel. So it does not matter. We’ll see how we react, however in fact, like I stated, I (informed) Mick and Hunter that it is the solely match I would like, I do not anticipate the rest.
“I confirmed every little thing. I confirmed that I could be the type of energetic fighter that the UFC likes. Like I stated, 5 fights (in 18 months) towards all the highest 10 guys. I confirmed that I can end. I beat Adesanya within the final 5 fights. I completed towards (Jared) Cannonier. And I confirmed that the title battle is the one place for me. And that is it. We’ll see relying on what they do. However like I stated, I will not change my thoughts.
“The one factor I deserve is the belt, and I’ll battle for the belt, and that is it. I am within the UFC for the belt, nothing else. No identify recognition, no cash, nothing. I am right here for the belt.”
