Casey Kenney went into his October 4 fight against AlatengHeili with one intention. Well, maybe two. The first was to beat his opponent; the second, to get another bout on Fight Island as soon as possible.
He hit both marks, scoring a one-sided win to move to 4-1 in the UFC, and after calling for a quick turnaround, he’s back in Abu Dhabi for a Saturday meeting with fellow rising star Nathaniel Wood.
About the only wish that wasn’t granted was sleeping under the Octagon on the beach until he got another fight.
“If they would have went the following weekend, I would have stayed and slept under the Octagon on the beach,” laughed Kenney.
