Jared Gordon had a spectacular debut at UFC Fight Night 112 this past weekend, scoring a second round finish of Michel Quinones.
Gordon, who is now 13-1 overall in his career, believes he has the perfect opponent in mind for his second Octagon appearance.
“I always think about the task at hand, but I would love to fight Artem Lobov,” he told MMAjunkie. “I think I would crush him.”
Other than missing weight for the fight with Quinones in Oklahoma City, Sunday was a near-flawless performance by the fighter nicknamed “Flash.” The 28-year-old has high career goals in mind, including a time frame for becoming champion.
“In the end of 2017, if everything goes well and I’m healthy, I see myself fighting a Top-10 guy,” Gordon said. “Then 2018, 2019…winning the belt.”
