Siyar Bahadurzada Says He Had Problems Leading Into His UFC Fight Night 128 Win

Siyar Bahadurzada spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over Luan Chagas at UFC Fight Night 128. Highlights are below:

On having troubles coming into the fight: “I had difficulties coming into the fight. I couldn’t train well for three straight weeks, but I hid it from my coaches. They wouldn’t have let me fight if they knew I was in such big trouble. My weight – I passed out in the sauna cutting weight. My body kind of refused to drop weight three weeks, four weeks out. But I overcame the obstacles, and I overcame the weight cut. I conquered myself, and overcoming my opponent was easier.”

On what’s next for him: “Obviously, I want to conquer this division. I may not have their skill. Everybody is very skilled. This is the killers’ division. But they will never outmatch me in will. I have, by far, the biggest will in this division. And when it comes to will, I will beat them all. I will break them all.”
