Paul Felder has won 3-in-a-row for the UFC after a loss on the undercard of the Cris Cyborg/Lina Lansburg event to Francisco Trinaldo. With an overall record of 15 wins and only 3 losses, Felder has quickly started his climb after back to back losses to Edson Barboza and Ross Pearson he quickly picked up wins over Daron Cruickshank, Josh Burkina, Steven Ray, Alessandro Ricci, and Charles Oliveira during his current hot streak.
Posting on his Instagram he implied that a certain ‘Vicks’ might be in the near scope for him, leaving us to believe he is targeting James Vick. Vick is a 13-1 standout from Team Lloyd Irvin who has won 4 in a row in the UFC including a recent decision over Francisco Trinaldo who gave Felder his last loss.
Vick who was KO’d by Beneil Dariush at UFC 199 for his only loss has notable wins over Abel Trujiulio, Joseph Duffy, Nick Hein, and Jake Matthews during his current assent up the UFC Rankings. A matchup between the two will set the divisional rankings up for future title contention.
