Tennessee, aside from a few exceptions, has never been considered a mixed martial arts hotbed. If everything goes according to plan for Andy Uhrich inside Bellator MMA, he will buck the trend.
Uhrich will take on Ultimate Fighting Championship, Strikeforce and EliteXC veteran Paul Daley in the Bellator 148 main event on Friday at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. The bout represents a critical juncture in his career. Never before has Uhrich faced an opponent with as a high a profile as Daley.
