Bilal Hasan: UFC put me on a rocket ship
UFC fighter Bilal Hasan said he wanted to move through his career slowly, but the organization kept offering him fights on short notice. Hasan said he accepted an offer to open the card in Shanghai 18 days later.
Bilal Hasan, who wanted to move through his UFC career slowly, said the organization offered him back-to-back short-notice fights. Hasan compared the experience to being put on a rocket ship.
According to Hasan, the UFC first asked him whether he wanted to open the main card in Shanghai in 18 days. The fighter said yes to the offer.
The offers did not stop there. Hasan said that right after that fight, UFC officials asked whether he would fight again before the end of the year. His answer was again yes.
As a result, he found himself in a much busier schedule than he had planned. While Hasan said he was aiming for a calm rise, he also showed that he did not object to the pace of the offers coming his way.
Hasan's remarks did not include the names of opponents or exact fight dates. The information he shared is limited to the 18-day preparation period and a possible second fight before the end of the year.
