Deaf MMA fighter Thomas Paull plotting UFC move after returning to the cage

Deaf MMA fighter Thomas Paull is still eyeing up the UFC as he looks to return to winning ways tomorrow night.

The Brit travelled to Vegas back in August for an opportunity at the big show when he competed on Dana White's Contender Series. But his trip ended up in disaster when he was knocked out in the first round by the unbeaten Esteban Ribovics, who ended up signing with the promotion that very night.

Paull has since returned to the drawing board, and is keen to make his way to the top of the sport and use his platform to spread the message that deaf people can achieve whatever they set out to do. The first step on that path is tomorrow's bout with Bailey Gilbert in Wolverhampton on a Golden Ticket Fight Promotions event.
