– Prior to his UFC Fight Night 86 bout with Jan Blachowicz, Igor Pokrajac spoke with mmajunkie.com, here are the highlightsā€¦

On Changes Heā€™s Made: ā€œI changed my team. I have new coaches. I brought my wrestling back, then because I didnā€™t know how to box, I hired a boxing coach. All those fights that I lost in the UFC, I lost on control and wrestling, so I brought wrestling back.ā€

Is It Special Fighting In Croatia?: ā€œOf course, itā€™s special. When I came into the UFC, they were always talking about when the UFC is going to come to Croatia. At that time, (Mirko) ā€˜Cro Copā€™ (Filipovic was in the UFC). And everybody was expecting the UFC to come here.ā€
