Amirian also spoke about why he signed with OKTAGON, the influence Georgian fighters like Merab Dvalishvili have had on his career and how winning the tournament could lead to a UFC contract.

“When I win this tournament … I will have the opportunity to build myself better, to train myself better. Improve my skills and have betting sparring partners in every country I visit. After this tournament I’ll have 18-wins and three loses, so I think every promotion’s doors will be open to me.”
