MOSCOW – UFC light heavyweight Nikita Krylov admits his departure from the promotion this past year was about money. After a loss to Misha Cirkunov at UFC 206, the numbers on a new contract offer were smaller than Krylov was willing to accept. “Maybe because of my loss, and maybe because I was overestimating myself,” Krylov (24-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who on Saturday faces Jan Blachowicz (22-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 136, told MMAjunkie via translator
