Alexandr Romanov, currently ranked 13th in the UFC heavyweight division, gave an exclusive interview to Telecomasia.net in which he revealed that he has one fight left on his contract. He emphasized his determination to "take off the horns" of his opponent, Brazilian Rodrigo Nascimento.
– Do you need to “take the horns off” the Brazilian?
– That’s right, we’re counting on it. I have one last fight left on my contract. We’ll get through this fight, and then the managers will negotiate either an extension or a move to another league. I would be happy to stay in the UFC, but everything is in God’s hands.
I had problems with motivation at a certain point in my life. Now, I have no issues at all. I’m feeling great. Mentally, I’m in a good place, better than I’ve ever been in my career. You’re going to see a very interesting version of 'King Kong' in the octagon.
For context, 33-year-old Alexandr Romanov has a mixed martial arts record of 17 wins and three losses. Rodrigo Nascimento boasts ten wins and two losses, with one of his fights being declared no contest. Their matchup will take place on the night of November 3 at UFC Fight Night 246.
