Dagestan and chechen people, a lot of drama on the internet, all these things i don’t like about it, but if the ufc wants it, never gonna say no. If the guy wants it, i will tell his manager as well, 'brother, if nassourdine wants, i will be open.' If he says he can’t wait until i move up, i will be waiting. I’m not gonna say no.
