The Serra Longo fighter was stopped for the fourth time in a row, and he intends to use this momentum to dominate the UFC bantamweight category.
Following the bout at DWCS 58, Grigoriou spoke to MMA Junkie and other journalists. “I’m a very good striker.” “I want them to know who I am and my skills. So, they have to be aware.”
He proudly represents his nation on the highest platform, as Grigoriou became the first fighter born in Cyprus to sign with the UFC.
Grigoriou said, “All of them are drunk right now in Cyprus because they had the parties.” “To be the only one in the UFC now from Cyprus, it’s amazing. We put Cyprus on the map, and we put Cyprus in the UFC. It’s amazing for me, amazing for my people in Cyprus, and amazing for the whole of Cyprus in general.” “I was thinking of fighting in Madison Square Garden because I live in New York.” “It will be amazing, so yes, I would love to.”
Charalampos Grigoriou aims to make his professional debut at UFC 295 on November 11 in New York. He is training out of Long Island with fighters like UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling and top challenger Merab Dvalishvili.
