John Gotti III wants to create his own path as one of the top welterweight prospects in the sport, but he is proud of his last name and the attention that comes with it.

Gotti III will look to improve to 6-0 when he faces Nick Alley in the main event of CES 61 on Oct. 14, which takes place inside “The Tent” at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, R.I. The event streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

The 27-year-old is the grandson of infamous mob boss John Gotti, which strikes most headlines every time he competes.
