Rome-native Alessio Di Chirico discusses his upcoming bout with Gareth McLellan at UFC on FOX: Maia vs. Condit, as well as why he doesn’t identify with Ancient Rome’s most famous fighters.
Alessio Di Chirico is coming off the only defeat in his young career, after dropping a decision to Bojan Velickovic in April, in the opening bout of UFC Fight Night 86. Though the judges gave the nod to his Serbian opponent, the match in Zagreb was a close affair which some scored in favour of the Italian UFC debutante.
Asked if he agreed with the official judges’ scores, Di Chirico was blunt.
