thats a tought fight for the nightmare i think, this brit is a stud
I have to disagree, Hathaway did not impress me in any of his 3 UFC fights, Tom Egan had no business been in the UFC, the fight with Rick Story was terrible, and his last fight with Paul Taylor showed he has no ability to finish a decent opponent, i don't think he has any power.
I watched his domestic progression here in the UK with the ZT team out of Brighton, and never understood why he made it, yeah he's undefeated but has never been really impressive.
An easy fight to welcome Diego back to 170.
After BJ, this guy should be a sinch. Of course he didn't come close to beating BJ so who knows.
