The welterweight division has become one of the most exciting divisions in the UFC lately, filled with a ton of up-and-coming prospects, as well as intriguing matchups in the top 15. The division got shook up back in May when Perth’s Jack Della Maddalena dethroned Belal Muhammad in Montreal to claim the belt at 170 pounds.
One of those prospects you need to keep an eye on in the welterweight division is Sam Patterson. He returns to competition this Saturday inside Accor Arena when he faces Trey “The Truth” Waters at UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs Borralho. The Brit got his start on the UFC scene when he competed on season 6 of Dana White’s Contender Series back in 2022.
