Mairbek Taisumov isn’t lacking in confidence.
Taisumov believes he is the most avoided athlete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) lightweight division. The 15th ranked 155-pounder has been making some waves with his five-fight winning streak.
Speaking to Bloody Elbow, Taisumov said if he were to fight Eddie Alvarez, he’d be victorious easily:
“I believe I am going to smash Eddie Alvarez. He is ex-champion, he is a true legend, but I’m going to smash this guy. I know and I feel that I can beat this guy. I don’t think that they’re going to give me Eddie Alvarez. Eddie Alvarez doesn’t want to fight. I’m not going to wait for Eddie Alvarez.”
