LAS VEGAS – Daniel Zellhuber was able to prove to himself he’s UFC quality in his most recent fight.
Zellhuber defeated veteran Lando Vannata this past April and the victory has done wonders to his confidence. The 24-year-old entered UFC on ESPN 44 after losing his UFC debut and had a ton of pressure to show that he was ready for the big stage.
“Imagine working your whole life for something and there are a lot of fighters that make it to the UFC, but never really get a win, and I didn’t want to be one of those guys,” Zellhuber said. “For me, getting this win means I belong in the UFC. I don’t know, it’s kind of a weird feeling (to lose). You work your whole life, you come, and I lose to someone that I truly believe that I can beat. Then I fight Lando Vanata. He has a lot of experience, so I don’t know. I just feel that win kind of changed my life at some point.”
