Gokhan Saki is not worried about being thrown into the deep end right away as he prepares for his first real venture into MMA competition. After spending more than a decade thriving in the kickboxing world, Saki (0-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) made a surprising and sudden transition to MMA this year when it was announced he’d signed a contract with the UFC . Saki has just one MMA fight on his record: a TKO loss in July 2004. Saki said he’s a different fighter and different man now – one with a kickboxing record of 83-12, including 59 wins by knockout. He’s dreamed about stepping into the octagon for all too long, and Saki said he’s thrilled to be officially contracted to the world’s largest MMA organization.
