Michal Oleksiejczuk Doesn’t Mind That His UFC 219 Win Was By Decision

Michal Oleksiejczuk spoke following his unanimous decision win over Khalil Rountree at UFC 219 over the weekend. Highlights are below, via MMAjunkie:

On the win: “It’s still hard to believe what happened – it’s a big day for me in my life. Of course, I believed in myself and my abilities to win this fight, but I had no clue I would do it in such a dominant style and I would beat Khalil everywhere – standing, wrestling and on the ground.”

On the fight going the distance: “I’m surprised I didn’t finish him in the second round. But he’s a very tough guy and I have a lot of respect for him because he took a lot. I’m very happy – I thought that I would have a finish, but a decision for a (UFC) debut isn’t a bad thing, especially against such an opponent as Khalil.”

on his next fight: “I want to fight Gokhan Saki because he’s a legend – he’s a legendary striker and kickboxer, and it would be an honor to enter a cage with him. I think that’s a good fight to make after this one. Hopefully that will happen. I think when I’m in shape with a good camp, I can fight any light heavyweight in the world and I will prove that in my next fights.”
