April 23, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Bellator Welterweight Champion Andrey Koreshkov spoke with mmajunkie.com following last night’s victory over Benson Henderson. Here are the highlights…

On a Rematch With Ben Askren: “Yes, of course, we are ready to fight him, and we’re ready to kill him in a cage.”

On a Possible Fight With Michael Page: “He doesn’t fight the tough fights, the tough guys. The guy he beat was a very easy guy – not his level, not tough. Of course, I could fight him, and I’d beat him.”

On Evangelista Santos’ Upset Win over Brandon Ward: “Today, ‘Cyborg’ looked very good,” he said. “And we’d make a very good fight, a spectacular fight. Because my opinion was, before this fight, is if Brennan Ward won, we fight next fight for the title – I’d defend the title against Brennan. But with ‘Cyborg’ (getting) the upset, I think he can fight me.”
