Ignacio Bahamondes is confident he’ll get a number next to his name before the year ends.
Putting together quite the streak and with a chance to extend it this Saturday, Bahamondes (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is determined to work his way into the UFC’s official lightweight rankings in 2023. This campaign to get ranked continues with his fight against veteran Ludovit Klein at UFC on ESPN 50 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
“I think the people want it, the Latin American people want it, I want it, my team wants it,” Bahamondes told MMA Junkie in Spanish when asked about his desire to enter the rankings. “We want to be in the top 15. We want to compete against the top 15, and if this victory is not enough, that doesn’t matter. I’ll return in December and do another one.
