“El Valiente” Has A Clear Plan To Break Into The Featherweight Rankings
After taking less than two minutes to defeat Julian Erosa last April, Fernando Padilla was riding high. He was 1-0 in the UFC, took out a legit foe in the first round, and ready for the world.
Then came a decision loss to Kyle Nelson five months later and “El Valiente” had to take a moment to reevaluate things and realize that leaving matters in the judges’ hands could cost you sometimes.
“I trained so hard and I knew I could finish that fight,” said Padilla.
