After securing back-to-back knockout victories this month, Waldo Cortes-Acosta now believes he is just one more win away before he fights for the UFC heavyweight championship.

Cortes-Acosta most recently locked horns with Shamil Gaziev on short notice at UFC Qatar and secured a round-1 knockout win, after which he called out Curtis Blaydes and also sent a chilling warning to Tom Aspinall.

‘Salsa Boy’ wanted to fight again in December, and close the year on a high note with six fights withing 12 months. However it seems as though he might have to wait. Cortes-Acosta recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, and spoke about his future fight plans.
