Cepo got an offer from the UFC! I’d have to cancel the duel in Bratislava, redo my plans and those of the Octagon. Plus, it was really quick, he said

Vlasto Cepo is slowly approaching his title shot in the Octagon. However, the 28-year-old tough guy recently received an offer from the UFC, which he decided to turn down. Why didn’t he accept it and what is his current focus?

Twenty-eight year old Vlasto Cepo has been mowing down one opponent after another, in the Octagon it was Giovanni Melillo at the end of last year, then Ion Taburceanu in April.

That’s why it’s a given that he should be the next to go for the middleweight title against Patrik Kinclova. However, that will probably not happen until December.

First he needs to beat his opponent in Bratislava, but no name has been announced yet. However, Chepo himself admitted that he could throw a pitchfork into everything.

After all, the famous UFC came with an offer and wanted him to join Contender. However, Chepo decided not to accept the offer and still remains loyal to the Octagon.

“I’m not interested in a title right now anyway, I’m just focusing on my next fight. I’m happy to have it, the time in the cage is the best possible for me. It’s the only way I can move forward.

I’m gonna get better on my journey, which is gonna be a long one. I’m only 28 years old and I still have everything to do in MMA. It’s better for me to take one step at a time rather than rushing around, which is why I turned down an offer from the UFC.

They wanted me as a short notice for Contender Series, but I would have had to cancel the duel in Bratislava, rearrange my plans and those of the Octagon. Plus, it was really fast. So I said no,” he said in an interview with Kaocko.cz.

This weekend we will have another Oktagon tournament, this time with number 46. In Frankfurt we can look forward to David Kozma, Bojan Velickovic, Louis Glismann and Apollo Silva.
