Former UFC flyweight title challenger Ali Bagautinov is eager to get back into the Brave Combat Federation’s cage. Paired up against fellow Octagon vet Dustin Ortiz in a quarter-final bout for the promotion’s flyweight tournament, the Russian Sambo master cannot wait to display his skills on April 1.
In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Bagautinov explains he is not too worried about his opponent’s skills and prefers to focus on himself. In fact, Ali revealed he never watches tape on the athletes he will face and just relies on feeling to find the best way to win in the cage.
