UFC Tried to Sign Rico Verhoeven for Paramount+ Debut, But Failed

UFC matchmaker Hunter Campbell said he “tried to sign” Verhoeven for the UFC’s January Paramount+ debut, eyeing a UFC 324 slot in Las Vegas, but the ex-GLORY kickboxing heavyweight champion passed. Testifying in Thursday’s antitrust hearing before Judge Richard Boulware, Campbell added that Verhoeven chose “not to sign and go box.” Verhoeven (49-8 kickboxing record) vacated GLORY gold in November.
