Sometimes change is good, even for those trying something they did not enjoy the first time. At least that appears to be the case for Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight Jordan Rinaldi. The former lightweight made his first Octagon appearance at 145 pounds at UFC 230, and the results were promising.
The 20-fight veteran had visited the featherweight division before, just not in the UFC. However, Rinaldi had good reasons for giving up his pursuits at 155 pounds prior to reaching the Las Vegas-based organization.
“I fought three or four times at featherweight prior to signing with the UFC,” Rinaldi told Sherdog.
