Gokhan Saki is not resting on his laurels after he opened his UFC account in emphatic fashion on Friday night in Saitama.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the latest episode of The MMA Hour, the Turkish kickboxing great reiterated his desire to become a UFC champion within a year, despite only contesting two bouts in MMA thus far, one of which he lost via TKO in 2004.

After his left hook knockout of Henrique da Silva, Saki claimed that he is already looking at making inroads into moving to the US.

He also suggested that he would like to fight one more time before the year is out, having been on the sidelines for two and a half years ahead of his UFC debut.
