Former Bellator MMA lightweight champion Will Brooks is confident he has what it takes to win the 155-pound title under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) banner, regardless of who’s holding it at the time.
And now that he’s finally inked a deal with the promotion, with his first fight set to go down on Fri., July 8, 2016 at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 23 Finale, "Ill" will have his first shot at backing up his words.
It won’t be easy, as his first foe will be a proven veteran in Ross Pearson, a man who possesses knockout power in his hands and as many fights inside the Octagon (19) as Will has in his entire MMA career.
