Nyligen meddelades det att Nikita Krylov inte längre hade kontrakt hos UFC, något som förvånade många då han enbart förlorat en av sina sex senaste matcher. Nu meddelar Krylov att det var han som valde att inte förlänga kontraktet med organisationen, och detta hade Nikita att säga via ”MK”:
I’m not particularly upset. God willing, there is still opportunities after a couple of years. There wasn’t a stumbling block, in fact. The only thing is that the old contract ended, and they wanted me to sign a new one. I did not want to, and because of this the UFC did not give me a fourth fight, relying on the contract and agreed to let me go.
In Russia, there are at least a couple of organizations, if not more, who are interested in me. We will negotiate. I think we’ll find common ground. I definitely will not lose, but on the contrary – profit. Today, started a new career as a revolution: here I am free, and now I can think of that as it is necessary. And then we’ll see.
Sist vi såg Krylov inne i oktogonen besegrades han av Misha Cirkunov via submission i första ronden under UFC 206, men innan dess avlutade han bland andra Ed Herman via knockout under UFC 201.
