I'm gonna start following him closely, hopefully he gets his chance in the main event being on PPV.
Yeah, I hope he gets his chance to get the spotlight shined on him.Agreed. 6 years in the UFC and no pro losses thus far.
See if he can win a title for across the pond fighters like Edwards, Bisping, etc.
Yeah, I hope he gets his chance to get the spotlight shined on him.
Also, hopefully he can stay undefeated for a while.
Don't feel bad, I've missed out on some fighters as well, especially the ones who should be paid more attention to that aren't well known yet.I watch a lot of UFC but missed this brotha. I thought Emmett would eventually catch him but he was very solid defensively and frustrated him with his movement. Solid victory.
