Romanov on the first UFC fighters: "They seemed to me like weirdos from another planet"

Alexandru Romanov, a Moldovan super featherweight competing in the UFC, spoke about the first time he saw fights of this organization.

"It was back in 1998 or 1999 when my father brought back tapes of the first UFC tournaments from overseas from competitions. To me they seemed like weirdos from another planet. Of course, then the rules were a bit stiff, or rather absent, but it was my first acquaintance with mixed martial arts and the UFC as a whole," - said Romanov.

We will remind, on the night of June 2, Romanov will perform at UFC 302 and will fight against Gilton Almeida.
