\nmaybe one more fight before the end of this year. I want to take it
\nsuper slow; I want to build all this.\u2019 The UFC put me on a rocket
\nship,\u201d Hasan told Full Mount MMA. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018Hey, in 18 days,
\ndo you want to go open up the main card in Shanghai?\u2019 And then I
\nsaid yes. Right after that, they\u2019re like, \u2018Hey, do you want to
\nfight again before the end of the year?\u2019 I said yes. This is what I
\nam meant to do. I\u2019m in the UFC, I\u2019m healthy, thank God. So, let\u2019s
\nrun it. Let\u2019s put on these performances while I can, while I\u2019m
