English lightweight Jai Herbert may not have gotten an invitation to the big UK MMA party at UFC 304 last weekend, but he thinks he’s in the perfect place to put on the best performance of his UFC career.
“The Black Country Banger” is ready to make the walk to the Octagon for the eighth time when he faces Rolando Bedoya at UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov this Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
After a string of fights in the UK, it’s a change of scenery for the Wolverhampton, England native, but it’s one he is thoroughly enjoying, as he told us during a fight week conversation at the fighter hotel.
