The UFC’s #11 ranked lightweight James Vick is gearing up to face the #15 ranked Paul Felder at UFC 233 on January 26, 2018. Bloody Elbow caught up with the 13-2 Vick on location out in Phuket, Thailand for an interview. “The Texecutioner” explained the benefits he receives from training in Thailand, from the temperature to the massages, and also mentions how he dropped and won a little bit of coin on his teammate Sodiq Yusuff’s UFC debut.
Vick also opened up about his confidence slipping a bit, as far as big opportunities go, after coming up short against top-ranked 155-pounder Justin Gaethje in the UFC Lincoln main event back in August.
