It’s been a tough few months for ‘The Austrian Wonderboy’, but he’s more determined than ever to return to the UFC and intends to do that by putting in some impressive performances in the upcoming Elite MMA Championship Welterweight Grand Prix. The 24-year-old will face off against Tymoteusz Lopaczyk for a place in the final, which Naurdiev (19-4) revealed is likely to happen later this year. He also discusses his release from the UFC, and why he turned down potential offers from Bellator and BRAVE CF to sign a three-fight exclusive deal with EMC.
