"I am very glad. I worked for the sake of it nearly twenty years. My purpose — an UFC belt, and I will make everything to reach it.

I think, the greatest role in signing of my contract with UFC was played by a victory over Paul Daley and professionalism of my managers.

I look forward opportunities to discuss with team of the first opponent in the oktagon and it is very curious to look who will be offered by UFC.

I want to arrange good show in debut fight, I hope, I will have enough time for preparation. I think if UFC wants to hold tournament at us, it will be a great event not only for me, but also for all Russia" — Alexander told.
