LAS VEGAS – Josh Parisian’s past outing got him back into the win column and a new UFC contract.
On the final fight of his UFC deal, Parisian (15-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was able to score a Performance of the Night TKO of Alan Baudot in June. That led to a new deal and a matchup with Chase Sherman (16-10 MMA, 4-9 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 214 main card.
Parisian admits that he used to put a lot of pressure on himself. But with his back against the wall heading into his bout with Baudot, letting go is what allowed him to put on one of the best showings of his career.
