Nikita Krylov Looking For Greater Challenges After UFC Fight Night 74 Win

Nikita Krylov spoke with MMAjunkie about his win over Marcos Rogerio de Lima at UFC Fight Night 74 and more. Check out the highlights:

On getting locked into a guillotine choke during the fight: “I wouldn’t tap. If anything, I would rather go to sleep. That’s how close it was to me tapping. I felt that his grip got a little bit less powerful, and I pulled my head out.”

On wanting to take on bigger challenges: “Basically, I want to get to the top. For that reason I need to fight fighters who are higher in the ratings than me. I just want to climb the ladder.”

On who he wants to face: “It doesn’t really matter much to me. There are matchmakers here to make that decision. They can match the fight so well that it will be exciting for the fans.”
