"First of all, I thank President Ilham Aliyev and my people. This victory is not only my success but also the success of Azerbaijan. I am glad that our toil does not come to naught. I believe the Azerbaijani flag will always be on top," the winner of the Rizin Grand Prix 2019 tournament in Saitama, world champion Tofig Musayev said.
Report cites him as saying at a press conference held at the Ministry of Youth and Sports that he is ready for the return match:
"We represent our country. So the responsibility is even greater. We have not yet received such a proposal. If we had, I would be ready for the return match".
Tofig Musayev defeated Brazilian Patricky Freire, a.k.a. Pitbull, in the Rizin Grand Prix 2019 final.
