Hacran Dias only fought four times since joining the UFC in 2012, and he feels that a win at Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night 70 in Hollywood will keep him safe in the UFC roster.
The Nova Uniao featherweight defeated Darren Elkins via unanimous decision in December, moving back to the win column following losses to Nik Lentz and Ricardo Lamas, and admits he had his back against the wall in his last UFC fight.
"That win in December was important because I was coming off two losses and I knew my neck was at risk," Dias told MMAFighting.
