In the wake of his biggest career opportunity and perhaps his worst setback, James Vick has made some major adjustments and is ready to bounce back.
Vick had to wait five years after his UFC debut for a shot against a true contender and was finally awarded the opportunity last August against Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night 135. The fight did not go Vick’s way, losing via first-round knockout to the former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion. The brutal loss ended Vick’s four-fight win streak and set him back in terms of title aspirations.
