Ismail Israilov is eager to build on "flawless" BKFC Prospect Series debut

“Anytime, anyone, anywhere.”

That’s what Ismail "Berti" Israilov says when asked if he’d like to fight with BKFC again after his 72-second victory over Danasabe Mohammed at BKFC Prospect Series in Albuquerque, NM. 

“I feel great,” he adds via his interpreter. 

“My performance was flawless. I don’t think I even got hit. No injuries. I’m ready to go again.”

Israilov wanted to make a statement at Prospect Series, and that’s exactly what he did.

“It was a major statement,” he says. 

“Everyone saw my power and my speed. Me and my team at Jackson Wink MMA believe I have the skill set to dominate everyone, everywhere.”

The 23-year-old Israilov made history in Albuquerque as the first Chechnyn fighter to ever compete in the world-famous Squared Circle. He’s proud to be a pioneer for BKFC in his home country, and he has big goals for the future.

“A little piece of history for my people has been written, but I need to do more,” he says.

“One of my goals is to win a BKFC World Championship. I want to get to megafights. I want to go after big names like Mike Perry and such. It will be legendary.”
