Nasrat Haqparast has his sights set on his upcoming fight against Joaquim Silva on Saturday in New Jersey but it’s still hard for him to ignore a former teammate he was previously scheduled to meet.
Earlier this year, Haqparast was expected to face John Makdessi but a lingering injury forced the German fighter to drop out of the fight before it happened.
“I had inflammation in a tendon in my arm because if you remember, I broke my hand in October in my fight and with this arm I had some issues,” Haqparast told MMA Fighting.
