Maybe it pays to beef with Jon Jones.
Veteran MMA heavyweight Chi Lewis-Parry is in talks to sign with the UFC, according to a report from Amy Kaplan. There’s no word on when his debut would be or whom he’d face if he does join the UFC roster.
MMAJunkie’s Nolan King reported that Lewis-Parry was supposed to headline an LFA show against Jared Vanderaa, but withdrew and has been replaced by Renan Ferreira. Perhaps that’s an indication that something is brewing between the brash Brit and the UFC.
Lewis-Parry has an MMA record of 8-0-2-2 NCs, and the combined current record of the opponents he’s beaten (based on Tapology and Sherdog databases) is 13-42.
