I’m more focused on upgrading my style now. If Jan Blachowicz or Glover Teixeira is my next opponent, it doesn’t matter to me. I need to work on my mistakes from this fight and be better. That’s my way. I want to share the Octagon with the toughest opponent in the world. I want to be the best.
He had beautiful punches. He has a long body and his left was incredible.
I want to share with people the beauty of martial arts. I want them to know what’s happening in the fight.
I am happy to be a UFC fighter and to show this performance. I want the title shot. Let’s do it.
Giga Chikadze defeated Cub Swanson via first-round TKO
Giga Chikadze:
I’m happy to get a beautiful win and a beautiful KO, but I like this guy a lot. I don’t think it was necessary for me to have to deliver the last few punches. If they would have stopped it just after the kick, I would be happier. But I had to do it because the referee didn’t stop it. He’s a legend. It feels great to beat a legend.
I thought we would have more exchanges. Once I had my chance, I went for it. It’s a special kick. Other fighters are going to watch it more.
It feels great. Finally I’m satisfied with things happening in my life. I’ve been digging at this for a long time. I know I’m one step closer to where I want to get to. I’m going slowly. I’m very happy with that.
When you beat someone like this in a minute, the next opponent should be big. I’ll get more fans from this and then get what I deserve. I’ve worked hard for it. I believe in my hard work.
After this fight with Cub, I deserve someone in the top 10.
Ion Cutelaba vs. Dustin Jacoby resulted in a split draw
Sean Strickland defeated Krzysztof Jotko via unanimous decision
Sean Strickland:
I understand there are ladders that need to be climbed and you’re only as good as your last win. Sadly, I didn’t knock him out. When guys back up like that, it’s hard to connect. It’s back to the grind again.
I stand so straight up and I don’t like to chase people. To his credit, I was shocked he did not try one takedown. I was thinking that would be his game plan. He didn’t even try to kick me.
I will say to his credit that he did throw some funky stuff. It did get me a bit more wary to come in. If I didn’t watch him do all the weird spins and back-elbows, I would have been in the pocket more.
I love being in the UFC. I just like to fight. I don’t care. I will fight anybody. The UFC knows that. Whoever wants it, let’s go.
