UFC bantamweight Bekzat Almakhan had a spectacular knockout victory over Brad Katona at UFC 315 on Saturday night which he says he prepared way in advance.
In fact he knew it the moment he got the name of his opponent.
“This was exactly what we prepared. The second I got Brad as an opponent I knew that this combination works and I was preparing it and working it and making sure that I know how to do this,” Almakhan told reporters including Cageside Press at his post-fight scrum.
“It worked. You saw it worked.”
Almakhan (12-2) finished a UFC veteran in the first round in very impressive fashion in Montreal. He believes he’s barely scratching the surface of what he’s going to be in the UFC.
He also sent a warning to the entire UFC bantamweight division.
“You haven’t seen anything yet. This is just the beginning for me. I’m still very young. I have time to develop myself, to hone my skills, God knows this.,” he said.
“I’m going to be a nightmare for this division. Everybody’s going to be afraid of me. I’m going to make sure to blast through this division.”
