UFC light heavyweight star on the rise, Krzysztof Soszynski has revealed he’s targeting a December return to the octagon after undergoing his seventh knee surgery of his career, as well as saying it’s now time for him to take his career to the next level any way he can. Speaking via MMAJunkie.com, Soszynski said:
“I was sprawling and brawling the whole time and landed on my knees so many times. I tore another meniscus and a cyst grew as well, so I had to get that fixed. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. I’m at a point right now where I barely have any meniscus left in my knees, and arthritis is building up big time because of that.”
“I feel like I have a short window right now, speaking with the doctors that I’ve been speaking to. I feel I have maybe two or three years left as an MMA fighter. I need to fight somebody near the top-10. If I do well in that fight, I want a top-10 opponent. I have a 6-2 record (in the UFC). I’ve fought some tough guys. Now, it’s time for me to prove myself to see if I belong in that upper bracket. I personally believe I do. I’m very proud of how far I’ve gotten, but I want to go further.”
Soszynski is on a two fight winning streak after defeating both Goran Reljic and Mike Massenzio via unanimous decision over the past eight months. Can the Team Quest fighter take that final step towards becoming a legitimate title contender in the 205 pound division?
