LAS VEGAS – Andrey Pulyaev doesn’t want to wait till 2025 for his UFC debut.
Following a UFC contract win at Dana White’s Contender Series 69 on Tuesday, the Russian middleweight made his plans clear – he wants to fight again this year, and hopefully return to Las Vegas for his UFC debut.
“In an ideal scenario, I would like to fight in December,” Pulyaev told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the DWCS 69 post-fight press conference. “And speaking of the venue, at this point it doesn’t really matter for me. As a matter of fact, I really like it over here in Vegas, and I would like a second to appreciate the help of all the UFC employees and UFC staff, all the athletic commission because everyone was super helpful. I could tell they’re professionals of really high class. We were watched and taken care of, and there was nothing that we wanted to have that we didn’t have.
