It took two tries for Nikolas Motta to find a place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Now that he has arrived, the jury remains out on whether or not he can make it a permanent home.
Motta will look to improve upon a 1-2 record inside the Octagon when he meets Trey Ogden as part of the UFC Fight Night 232 undercard this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The 30-year-old former Cage Fury Fighting Championships titleholder wants to establish a more secure foothold in the cutthroat lightweight division so he can delve a little deeper into his long-pursued dream.
