Bojan Velickovic Grateful For Getting to Fight on TV at UFC Fight Night 109

Bojan Velickovic spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over Nico Musoke at UFC Fight Night 109. Some highlights are below:

On appearing on the televised card: “I’m very happy and grateful to the UFC for giving me this opportunity. It’s my first opportunity to fight on a FOX Sports 1 card. So far the three fights I had I was on the early prelims, the arenas were almost empty, and I didn’t feel that excitement and the pressure like now. I need the pressure to perform better. That’s what happened. I feel I deserve better shots, better opponents and better cards. I want to work better, I want to show I can do much better, and I want to work my way toward the main card.”

On getting the win: “It was clear when he started dancing and ice skating that it was my job to finish that round and not let it go to the hands of the judges. I’m really happy that I did that.”

On his next fight: “I would like to stay busy. I don’t want a big layover. I would like to fight. I love European cards. I know there is three more cards toward the end of the year – in Poland, in Holland and in Scotland. Any of those cards I would really like to fight on. UFC, it’s up to you. I’m never going to ask, and I’m never going to be crazy and call out big opponents. I just want to work towards the top of this division and that’s it.”
