Emotional Azamat Murzakanov starting to eye light heavyweight title talk after UFC 316 Show Caption Hide Caption UFC 316: Azamat Murzakanov post-fight interview UFC 316 winner Azamat Murzakanov spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters post-fight after his first-round TKO of Brendson Ribeiro. NEWARK, N.J. – Azamat Murzakanov met the media Saturday after his win over Brendson Ribeiro at UFC 316. Murzakanov (15-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) blasted Ribeiro (17-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) with a violent TKO on the preliminary card at Prudential Center. The win kept him perfect not just in the UFC, but overall. Murzakanov said there was a mix of emotion and relief after the win. He hadn't fought since a bonus-winning finish of Alonzo Menifield in August 2024. He was set to fight Johnny Walker until Walker pulled out and Ribeiro stepped in. But now that he's through his latest challenge, he's looking down the road and wondering about an entrance into the title picture at light heavyweight – particularly if he can get a couple more wins in 2025. 'I'd like to fight anyone who can get me closer to a title fight,' Murzakanov said. 'It doesn't matter who that person is.' Check out Murzakanov's post-fight news conference in the video above.
