SAN ANTONIO – Albert Duraev already has his sights set on a potential next opponent.
Minutes after his UFC on ESPN 43 win over Chidi Njokuani on Saturday, Duraev (16-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) told MMA Junkie in a post-fight news conference he hopes to get matched against Brazilian middleweight and jiu-jitsu specialist Andre Muniz (23-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC).
“I want my next fight in June or July,” Duraev said. “I want to fight Brazilian guy Andre Muniz. He’s held 15 ranking. I want a top 15. I can show a good fight.”
