New England Stand Up! Tonight is a chance to root for one of your hometown warriors as he steps back into the UFC octagon.
Nick Fiore, who is 6-1 in his Pro Career looks to get his first W in the UFC. After going on a 6 fight win streak in New England. Fiore got the call to join the UFC. Coming up short on his debut, he is looking to brush his shoulders off and show the world what he can accomplish in the cage with a full training camp.
Fiore is a quick starter with all 6 of his wins coming by first round finish. Winning 4 of those 6 by Submission and 2 by TKO/KO, Fiore proves he can be a threat wherever the fight goes. His opponent tonight is a familiar face to UFC fans, Chase Hooper.
Hooper had a hilarious clip where he approached UFC BMF Champion Jorge Masvidal and asked him why he knocked out his dad, implying UFC fighter Ben Askren was his dad, after masivadals world famous flying knee KO of Askren. But the jokes stop there when Hooper enters the cage. Chase Hooper has amassed an impressive 11-3-1 record with 5 submissions and 4 KO's. Also showing he can be a threat too wherever the fight goes. I don't think the judges will be needed for this one.
Nick Fiore also represents one of the best gyms in the area known as New England Cartel. With a badass name like that and with talent like UFC stars Calvin Kattar & Rob Font, Plus soon to be superstars Connor "The Controller" Matthews and Tom "The Phenom" Pagliarulo, you know Fiore is training with the best the area has to offer and will be ready to put on a show!
UFC Fight Night: Dean vs Hill is Live from the APEX in Las Vegas. Prelims start at 4pm on the East Coast and the Maine Card starts at 7pm. Fiore will be on the Prelims so tune in at 4pm. Both cards will be on ESPN and ESPN+.
