It was a disappointing outcome for the Bulgarian as a win over &#8220;The Black Beast&#8221; would&#8217;ve changed his career.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Ivanov is <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/tyron-woodley\/full-card-announced-for-ufc-fight-night-tyron-woodley-vs-gilbert-burns\/\">looking to return to the win column against Sakai<\/a> in a fight he believes will be exciting for the fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I\u2019m excited about this. I\u2019m ready to go,&#8221; Ivanov said to BJPENN.com just four days before his co-main event fight. &#8220;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">His style is good and it\u2019s an attractive and good fight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Entering this fight, Sakai is a perfect 3-0 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UFC<\/a>, but for Ivanov, he&#8217;s confident he&#8217;ll hand the Brazilian his first loss in the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanov knows Sakai is not on his level and plans on bringing him into deep waters.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I have more experience and that will be the key in this fight. He\u2019s never fought the top guy like me,&#8221; Ivanov explained. &#8220;I\u2019m taking him into deep waters and he better be ready. His first loss in the UFC is coming on Saturday.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_329945\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329945\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-329945 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/pjimage-26.jpg\" alt=\"Blagoy Ivanov\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/pjimage-26.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/pjimage-26-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-329945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: @blagoyivanovmma on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For Ivanov, he knows Sakai won&#8217;t be able to knock him out <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/tai-tuivasa\/tai-tuivasa-issues-statement-after-loss-to-tough-ct-blagoy-ivanov\/\">as he has proven he can take a punch<\/a>. But, he&#8217;s confident he knows how to beat the Brazilian and will exploit the holes in his game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;He will try and stay away from me along the cage so I don\u2019t wrestle. I have a few tactics in mind but I\u2019ll keep that secret. Everyone will see on Saturday,&#8221; he said. &#8220;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">This is a huge fight to win. Sakai is still in the top-15, so a win here should put me in the top-10.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ivanov, who normally trains at AKA with the likes of Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez was forced to stay in Las Vegas for the lead up to his co-main event scrap. Yet, he says it worked in his favor as <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/francis-ngannou-wishes-jairzinho-rozenstruik-fight-went-longer-so-he-could-have-showcased-his-ground-game\/\">he got to be the main training partner for Francis Ngannou<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/francis-ngannou-says-hes-more-confident-in-a-rematch-with-stipe-miocic-than-a-potential-fight-with-daniel-cormier\/\">after spending countless rounds with Ngannou<\/a>, Ivanov&#8217;s confidence has only improved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I didn\u2019t get the chance to go to AKA. But, I did train at Xtreme Couture with Francis Ngannou,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;It was good because we were both preparing for fights. It was a good experience training with Francis because he\u2019s the top heavyweight contender. It gives me more confidence. I\u2019m ready, I feel ready.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the end, Ivanov knows he will return to the win column and get a top-10 opponent next time out. But, he also plans to earn his first UFC finish on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I\u2019m confident I\u2019ll get a finish over Sakai here.
