UFC bantamweight veteran Brian Kelleher has been active this year by competing as a featherweight, but he has an eye on moving up the 135 lbs rankings for his next bout.
With his 39-second guillotine choke against short notice opponent Ray Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 9, Kelleher improved to 3-1 in 2020. Of course, none of Ode Osbourne, Hunter Azure, or Ray Rodriguez really puts you in a position to enter the top-15, so the Long Islander recognizes he needs a bigger fight.
“I’m trying to make my way up the rankings,” Kelleher said at the UFC Vegas 9 post-fight press conference (via MMA Junkie).
