UFC flyweight Ali Bagautinov plans to fight for three or four more years before transitioning to a career in politics.
Fresh of a yearlong suspension for performance enhancing substances, Ali Bagautinov is keen to move from the darkest day of his professional career.
The Russian flyweight is scheduled to face Joseph Benavidez, a remarkably difficult test for a fighter who has been absent from the Octagon for well over 12 months. However, he remains confident that it is a step in the right direction.
"I am absolutely confident in his ability to fight," Bagautinov told allboxing.
