February 5, 2016 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Zach Makovsky spoke with MMAjunkie about his fight with Joseph Benavidez at UFC Fight Night 82 and more. Check out some excerpts from the interview below:

On moving toward a title shot: “The opportunity for potentially heading to a title shot isn’t from a 4-2 record in the UFC; it’s from beating the No. 1 (contender), Joseph Benavidez.”

On his record speaking for itself: “I don’t feel like I need to ‘build’ toward beating tougher guys and fighting elite guys in the division. I’ve been fighting professionally almost 10 years. I have a good deal of experience, and I’m getting older, so I’m trying to fight these top guys while I’m here.”
