West Ham are aiming for a strong finish to the season after a disappointing campaign to date.
And Slaven Bilic may have been tempted to pick the brains of UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, who visited the training ground this week.
With his belt in tow, Miocic met with Bilic and his first-team coaches along with Michail Antonio and Darren Randolph.
His visit to Rush Green coincides with UFC's return to London next month.
