"Having the UFC tournament in Baku is a big event. When I started MMA, my goal was to fight in the UFC. But I didn't expect my debut to be in Baku."

According to Oxu.Az, this was stated by Farman Hasanov, who will face Eric Nolan at the "UFC Fight Night" event at the National Gymnastics Arena.

He said he will give his opponent his fifth loss in the UFC: "I'm in constant contact with Tofig Musayev. Everyone gives their advice as a team. My current opponent prefers boxing more. Wrestling is more popular in Azerbaijan. I will try to use that to win. Our compatriots support us. I thank them."

It is noted that on June 27, Saturday, at the National Gymnastics Arena, Farman Hasanov will face Eric Nolan in a welterweight bout. This fight will be Farman Hasanov's debut in his UFC career.
