Baris Adiguzel hopes activity can fast track him to the UFC.
Adiguzel is coming off a 16-second highlight reel knockout at Cage Warriors 162 on Oct. 28. The 24-year-old Turkish fighter trains out of Boxing Squad in Nice, France – home to UFC flyweight contender Manon Fiorot.
Cage Warriors has produced UFC superstars such as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, and Tom Aspinall. Adiguzel hopes the same promotion can springboard him to the octagon too.
“If I can stay active, I can fight every three months. For sure I’m going to be in a really big organization,” Adiguzel told MMA Junkie Radio. “I don’t know where, I would like to be in the UFC, I’m not going to lie.
“I don’t want to do like 20 fights before going to the UFC. I want to win, win, win and go to the UFC pretty quickly. I really believe that I can do really good things in the UFC. Just talking about this, I’m really excited.”
