Romanov doesn't see Almeida as a heavyweight

Moldovan UFC super featherweight Alexandru Romanov has spoken out about his upcoming fight with Brazilian Jailton Almeida.

"I think his tactics will be the same, he will try to do it, but all his dreams and desires to move me to the parterre will crash like waves against the rocks. I generally think he's small for a heavyweight, more like a welterweight. We'll see, we'll see. It will be a confrontation of such guys who like to fight, push, tie each other up."

As a reminder, the bout between Romanov and Almeida will take place at UFC 302 on the night of June 2 in Newark.
