Andrey Koreshkov Says Bellator 182 Fight Is “Very Important” To Him

Andrey Koreshkov discussed the importance of his fight with Chidi Njokuani in the main event of Bellator 182 in a new interview with MMAjunkie. Highlights are below:

On his fight with Njokuani: “It’s a very important fight for me. Almost one year ago, I made a mistake. We want to fix it and get my belt back. This fight is the first step on my way to the belt. In the last fight, in a moment, I didn’t listen to my corner and changed tactics. I made a move and I lost. I made a huge mistake. Now, I think we’ve found the problem. This fight, I believe we won’t make that mistake.”

On Njokuani: “Chidi is a very uncomfortable fighter. He’s very tall, he has a long reach, and (he’s a good striker). But I think I’m a better striker, better wrestler, and better in all aspects of the fight than Chidi.”

On a possible title shot: “First, I must beat Chidi. After, I’ll think about a title shot.”
