Jon Makdessi talks about his year away from the Octagon and his return tomorrow at UFC 186.
It was 14 months ago the last time John Makdessi stepped into the Octagon. He was riding a three-fight winning streak for the first time since joining the UFC and a win against Alan Patrick at UFC 169 would have likely propelled him into the top-15. A victory would have been the affirmation Makdessi needed to prove he was a world-class fighter to both himself and the world.
But Makdessi didn't win that fight; the judges sided with Patrick's outside striking and sporadic takedowns.
