Ruben Wolf: My goal is to fight for the UFC!

German MMA fighter Ruben Wolf is coming back to Croatia this Friday to fight Croatian prospect Sasa Milinkovic. Merely a month ago in Opatija, Croatia, Wolf was defeated by Ante Delija, but this time he is aiming for victory at FFC13.


Ruben “The Viking” Wolf started as a professional MMA fighter in 2010 after being a hockey player for many years. Numerous suspensions made him change his life path and career and thus he devoted himself to combat sports. So far, his score is 6 victories and 6 losses and there is one opponent he will always remember.


I would say Gerald Turek. He was the toughest. He is a seasoned veteran, seems to have a head of stone and knows his technique.


After his match in Opatija, Croatia, last month, Ruben will have a chance to visit another Croatian coastal city.


To be honest, I didn't know that much about Zadar. But I've been informed, that it's a nice harbour city, with a long history. Although there should be a nice landscape around, sadly I want get to see that much of it.

However, this time Ruben studied well his opponent Sasa Milinkovic who will fight in the FFC ring for the second time in his career.


I think in the stand-up part I should be in a big favour. On the ground I also feel pretty confident, but we will see.  Of course I don't wanna get caught in a dumb submission like last time. So this is something I'm looking forward to.


“The Viking” did not want to reveal much about his tactics, but it is evident he will do his best to avoid getting to the ground.


I don't wanna tell you too much, but in this fight I wanna see, if he is ready to bang with me and can stand my punches. If it goes to the ground I don't mind, I'm prepared.


One this is sure, when Wolf enters the ring, the spectators can expect a lot of action because he is never sparing himself in the match.


I'm always fighting out of my heart and give everything to enjoy the audience. People at FFC have been good to me and the fans here in Croatia are great, so I wanna show them, that I honor their belief in me!


Wolf also revealed he would be extremely happy to wing this Friday at FFC13 in Zadar, Croatia, and to get the UFC contract someday.


I hope to succeed on Friday's fight and hope to get more fights for FFC. I just wanna fight as professional and long, as I'm able to. For sure, everybody's goal these days is to fight for the UFC one day.
