JERSEY CITY, N.J. – In the heavyweight division, there’s a 60-pound range for fighters to locate their optimal poundage there within.
While many heavyweights typically stick within the same few-pound range, Alexandr Romanov has fluctuated greatly in his UFC tenure. Sometimes weighing less than 240 pounds, but more times tipping the scales around the 265-pound heavyweight limit, Romanov’s weight has garnered attention for its unpredictable nature.
For Romanov (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), however, he’s not as concerned with his weight as some outside observers are. While he didn’t reveal his exact expected weight for Friday ahead of Saturday’s UFC 302, Romanov is fighting a lighter-weight opponent in Jailton Almeida.
