Lately, free agency has been a popular choice for UFC fighters with expiring contracts, but for some fighters that’s too big of a gamble.
Welterweight Tim Means is currently scheduled to fight Alex Oliveira on the undercard of Friday’s UFC 207. This bout with the Brazilian will mark the third fight of Means’ four-fight contract with the UFC, and Means is planning on putting away ‘Cowboy’ impressively in order to re-negotiate and get a better deal moving forward.
“We negotiate on the third fight, and that’s the third fight on my contract,” Means told MMA Fighting.
