For the second time in nine months, James Vick is readying to step into the Octagon and trade hands with Paul Felder, only this time, there won’t be a change of plans.
Initially paired off with “The Irish Dragon” last spring, Vick was pulled from the matchup just a few weeks before the fight and put into a main event bout against Justin Gaethje the following month in Lincoln, Nebraska.
It was a tremendous opportunity for the ambitious lightweight from Texas, but a late kick to the ribs for Felder, who had missed out on an opportunity to compete earlier in the year under similar circumstances.
