Ivan Bannikov, UFC heavyweight manager Alexandra Volkova, revealed that Drago could bring Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven to their camp.
“We are compiling a list of those who could help us. Perhaps it would be Rico Verhoeven. We need fast strikers. I don’t think that Aspinall’s jiu-jitsu will be dangerous for Sasha after the fight with Werdum, but for the fight in the stand we will select fighters who are similar in anthropometry. One of the biggest mistakes in the fight with Gan, we couldn't get Alex Pereira to our gym. He would help us a lot in kickboxing…”, Match TV quotes Bannikov.
Already on March 19, Volkov will have to fight in London with Tom Aspinall. It is worth noting that Rico helped Francis Ngannou prepare for the fight against Cyril Gan.
We will remind, earlier it became known that Volkov contracted the coronavirus, but the fight with Aspinall is still in force.Â
