After an injury-hit couple of years, Medić was happy to just be able to bounce straight back into training after the Urbina win. He’s at his happiest when he’s in training, and after a quick spot of R&R, he was back in the gym again.
“Yeah, I just went back straight to training,” he explained. I usually always do. As long as I have no injuries, no health issues, I go straight back to the training room.
“I did take a week or so off. I went to Alaska for a little bit. I just had a little rest, recharge, a nature session, and went straight back to California and back to training.
FULL FIGHTS: Bonfim vs Salikhov | Bonfim vs Giles
“I knew I wanted to fight at least once more this year, and it’s perfect timing, right before the holidays, right before the snowboarding season. Everything is going the way I wanted it, so I’m pretty excited.”
Medić isn’t the only one excited for his upcoming fight. His matchup with Salikhov pits two natural strikers head-to-head in a mouth-watering matchup. “The King of Kung-Fu” has finished 14 of his 22 career wins by knockout, and heads into the weekend off back-to-back first-round knockouts of Song Kenan and Carlos Leal.
Salikhov’s sanda striking style isn’t the most common you’ll see in the UFC, but Medić said he’s got the perfect training partner to prepare for the Russian’s dizzying array of strikes.
