LAS VEGAS – Austin Bashi met the media Saturday after his win over Carlos Calderon at UFC Fight Night 293.

Bashi (15-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) made quick and easy work of Calderon (11-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) on the prelims at the Meta APEX. Bashi lost his original opponent, Lucas Brennan, and Calderon stepped in on just four days’ notice. Bashi was a huge favorite in the fight, under the circumstances, and tapped Calderon with a rear-naked choke in just 67 seconds.

Bashi key quotes, UFC Fight Night 293

“I've been fighting my whole life. At the end of the day, whoever is in front of you at that night – a game plan is great to go in with, but sometimes those game plans don't even work. Coming in here tonight, I was like, ‘All right, I'm just going to read him, see what he brings to the table and go from there.’ I'm always trying to finish the guys and come fast and hard.”

“I like being active. If I could fight three, four times a year, I would love to. On the regional scene, I was fighting four times a year and that was great. If I could do that over here, I would love that, as well. Whatever they give me, tell me who to fight, and I'll fight them.”

“(Tommy McMillen is) doing great over here, but I'd love to fight that guy. That's one guy I'd love to fight, for sure. … Every fight, I'm getting better and better starting from my pro debut to now.”
