Georgi Karakhanyan Says He’s Still Hungry Despite Recent Struggles

August 22, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Georgi Karakhanyan said in a new interview with MMAjunkie that despite his recent plateauing with a 3-3 record in his latest fights, he’s still motivated. The highlights are below:

On his motivation: “I’m still hungry. I’m still training with the same drive. I’m still training like I’m 21. If I wake up one day and don’t have that motivation, then there’s no point of fighting. I still have big goals – big, big plans. I get this question a lot about my age, but I still have the same big plans and big goals.”

On his fight with Daniel Pineda at Bellator 182: “(What stands out is he’s) overall, well-rounded – a good grinder. He’s a good wrestler and mixes up real good. But skill-wise, I don’t think he matches up with me. (When) fight day comes, we’ll see.”

On his future with Bellator: “From what I’m hearing, they want to keep me busy, so they said, ‘You’ll have one more fight this year.’ After that, we’ll see if I stay there or – the Russians are paying real good money, so maybe we’ll just travel there.”
