"Thanks a lot.
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my opponent.
This is a living legend of this sport.
We tried to emulate such fighters.
All the best to him on his future journey.
Ben is a very dangerous opponent.
He should never be underestimated.
I didn't rush, I didn't try to rush things.
I was very cool, not going anywhere in a hurry.
I had 25 minutes and I was ready for them.
And it ended the way it ended, ”Nurmagomedov said in an interview after the fight.
For Nurmagomedov, this was the first title defense.
Now the Russian has seventeen victories.
