UFC 141: Vietnamese Nam Phan vs Jim Hettes
|In a featherweight battle, Nam Phan will be looking to gain some traction in the talent-laden division while top prospect Jim Hettes will look to procure a signature victory over a well respected veteran. Phan is recently coming off of a Fight of the Night worthy battle with rival Leonard Garcia, earning the just decision victory over the “Bad Boy,” avenging an earlier and controversial defeat, whilst snapping a two-fight skid inside the Octagon.
Jim Hettes will be looking to build upon the strength of his UFC debut, which came at the expense of The Ultimate Fighter veteran Alex Caceres, submitting the wily fighter with a second-round rear-naked choke.
The winner will move themselves one step closer towards contender status in the burgeoning 145-pound class, which is currently ruled by UFC champion Jose Aldo.
