However, the Russian might not be competing for much longer and has recently hinted at a possible retirement after facing Ilir Latifi at UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Yan this weekend. 'The Boa Constrictor' was meant to end his MMA career against Jared Vanderaa at UFC 273. But after winning the bout via submission in round one, the Russian has seemingly had a change of heart and is now competing once again this weekend. While speaking to TeleCom, Oleinik said this about his potential retirement announcement after taking on Ilir Latifi this weekend: "I don't know. I am afraid I can't promise anything. My fight against Vanderaa was the last one, but as you see, I have my next bout in nine days." Watch Oleinik in action here: Aleksei Oleinik has stated that the UFC asked him for one more fight instead of retiring or taking a break from his career. However, the Russian is by no means overlooking the challenge of fighting somebody like Latifi. While speaking about his opponent, Oleinik stated: "Ilir Latifi is a seasoned fighter. He is not a man who gets confused, so I need to focus as much as possible and not count on his weakness."
