Kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven has revealed that the UFC extended him a decent contract offer for a debut against Derrick Lewis, but he opted for a high-profile boxing match against Oleksandr Usyk instead. The fight, for the WBC heavyweight title, is scheduled for May 23, 2026, at the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. Verhoeven emphasized the respect shown by the UFC during negotiations.
