During the event's 'media day', Robocop, who trains at the 'Kill Cliff FC' academy, revealed that he had the support of Nassourdine Imavov . It's worth noting that the Frenchman is one of the best middleweight fighters, ranked third, and with five consecutive wins, is tipped to challenge for the title against champion Sean Strickland.
Having spent considerable time with the athlete, the Brazilian was impressed by his skill and confident that he will benefit from the partnership in the important fight against Hernandez. Showing clear improvement in the octagon, Robocop arrives riding a three-fight winning streak.
“He helped me a lot for this fight. He spent some time in Florida and we trained a lot. He’s a very tough guy, one of the best I’ve ever trained with. Very fast and intelligent. I trained with him on two different occasions. I could see how different he is, how he’s evolving,” he said.
