Recently, rumors have emerged that the former Glory heavyweight champion and the main star of the promotion for the past ten years, Rico Verhoeven, might continue his career in the UFC. However, it became known why the parties could not reach an agreement.
The matter is that Verhoeven requested more than a million dollars from the promotion. This was reported by the organization's vice-president, Hunter Campbell. He also said that in the end, Rico decided to 'focus on boxing.'
Earlier, heavyweight Derrick Lewis announced that he had agreed to a fight with Verhoeven at the UFC 324 tournament in Las Vegas, but the bout was never organized.
