‘Khabib is an inspiration to me,’ says BJJ star and UFC 258 fighter Rodolfo Vieira

Four-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu World Champion Rodolfo Vieira still is still looking to improve his grappling while his mixed martial arts career develops. Paired up against Anthony Hernandez for a middleweight bout at UFC 258, the 31-year-old wants to show fans he has more than just ground skills, though.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Vieira explained his strong suit will always be jiu-jitsu, but does not want opponents to take his striking for granted, too. Although Rodolfo knows his evolution is a slow process, he is confident fans will witness his best version so far in this next outing.
