Moldovan Mixed Martial Artist Sergei Spivak before the fight with the French Cyrille Gan explained in an interview with why he got the nickname Polar Bear.
Spivak will headline UFC Fight Night 226 on Sept. 2 in Paris against heavyweight contender Gan. The Moldovan is ranked seventh in the UFC heavyweight rankings. This will be Gan’s first fight since losing to Jon Jones for the UFC title.
– You will fight in Paris, and they will certainly encourage you there. Ready to boo you in the stands?
“It doesn’t really matter. The cornered animal is always the most dangerous.
– Especially the polar bear (Spivak’s nickname is “”)?
Yes, especially the polar bear.
“And where did you get such a nickname from, did you at least read anything about polar bears?”
This nickname was given to me by my father when I was a child. I was so a bit clumsy and my dad called me polar bear. But at the same time, growing up, he turns into a big polar bear. And it’s also interesting, if you look at habits, a polar bear doesn’t walk in a herd, and I don’t have one either. I am constantly alone, constantly training in different gyms, – Spivak told .
