New York Rangers big man Matt Rempe made a notable debut in the National Hockey League (NHL) last season, and even a UFC star has his eye on him.
Shortly before making his return to the octagon at the UFC 309 gala presented on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York, Michael Chandler and other fighters had the opportunity to react to Rempe’s fights.

In a short video posted by Sportsnet, Chandler reacted strongly to the heavyweight duel between Rempe and Ryan Reaves.
“This guy is an animal! [Numéro] 73, let me know! We should train together,” said the 38-year-old American.
With his 6’9″ frame, the 22-year-old Albertan generally dominates his opponents thanks to his reach. His technique with his fists needs to be worked on a little, but he took the opportunity this summer to seek advice from Georges Laraque.
After playing 17 games with the Rangers at the end of the regular season and 11 more in the playoffs, Rempe had few opportunities to showcase himself this season.
He did not obtain any points in three games with the Blueshirts and also did not blacken the score sheet in the American League in six games with the Hartford Wolf Pack, maintaining a differential of -6 with the farm club. .
