It looks like another run at 155 pounds is in Paul Felder’s immediate future. But the door hasn’t been closed to taking another crack at the welterweight division.
The popular lightweight contender and color commentator went up to 170 pounds to take on Mike Perry at UFC 226, and it won’t go down as the best night of his career. Felder suffered a broken right ulnar bone throwing a spinning back fist early in the fight, then toughed his way through the rest of the fight and a split-decision loss without one of his biggest weapons.
