An 'elite athlete from Tajikistan' with a 9-0 MMA record asks if he can be in the UFC at the UFC 308 press conference. Dana says come here, shakes his hand, and sends him backstage.
He currently fights for AMC Fight Nights, Russia’s biggest MMA promotion, and last competed in November last year where he beat Russian Murad Bilarov via majority decision.
“Dana I don’t have a question. I came here for a fight on short notice. I have never had a manager did it all by myself.The UFC's biggest selling PPV events ever with fans paying millions to see McGregorTom Aspinall reveals most likely next fight - it isn't Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic White, who originally looked sceptical at the approach from Nabotov, then proceeded to question the 25-year-old lightweight on his career.Season eight of White’s Contender Series came to an end in October after ten weeks as numerous prospects were offered the chance to turn their dreams into reality with a UFC contract.
The 25-year-old then happily jumped the barrier with a huge grin on his face before he was greeted with a handshake by White on stage.White then ushered Nabotov off stage, seemingly to speak with UFC matchmakers about a potential contract.
