"I with quite big confidence see it the world champion. If there is nothing improbable, I feel that he becomes a champion", Jackson in Sherdog "Beatdown" broadcast told.

Habilov's last fight took place on UFC 159. Then he won Yansi Medeyrosa a technical knockout the first round. When falling the opponent injured a thumb on the right hand and couldn't continue fight.

"His thumb was broken. Looked rather terribly. Янси real soldier. If to it allowed, he would fight further. He is the real soldier. He is the cool fighter with big talent. I consider that it still will prove. Was coolly from its party to approach to us as it made it. That is, it didn't need to do it. It approached and showed us in what business, and it was convinced that we understand it. We very much respect it."

"Me really pleases to see Habilov's successes which he achieved. It everything becomes better. This time it looked much more tekhnichny. It wasn't zamentno last time, after all it simply threw the rival a deflection, but this time its shock equipment looked much more tekhnichny."

"We saw couple of things over which we will work, but he acts very much and very much impressively. He is the happiest fighter behind a slip. Probably, he is the most cheerful fighter whom I ever saw. He simply likes to fight. It constantly jokes, smiles and laughs. It is nervous most less in a locker room. Such relation is surprising and it has a huge talent."
