Picked last by Team (Jon) Jones on season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter, Dylan 'The Villain' Andrews, took solace in the fact that he'd been underestimated by every coach and competitor on the show. The NZ native, who currently resides in the Gold Coast, Australia, took everyone by surprise fighting his way through to the semi-finals eventually losing to heavily-favoured Urijah Hall.
After an impressive performance throughout the show, Andrews was invited to fight fellow contestant Jimmy Quinlan at the TUF17 finale in Las Vegas. The Villain overcame Quinlan defeating him via TKO (due to punches) at 3:22 of the very first round.
It was recently announced, that following his previous victory, Dylan 'The Villain' Andrews will fight fellow middleweight Papy 'Makambo' Abedi on the UFC on FS1 2 card. The fight scheduled for August 29th will be at Bakers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 2nd UFC on FS1 card also features Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann: 2, Court McGee vs. Robert Whittaker and Sara McMann vs. Sarah Kaufman.
Andrews enters the fight sporting a 16-4 record with a current win-streak of 5 fights, while Abedi enters sporting a 9-2 record and being 2-1 in his last 3 fights.
BLACKZILLA's TIP: Abedi hasn't had that strong a run in the UFC winning his last fight by split decision and losing the prior 2 fights by submission (both in the first round). I'm gonna stick with my boy Dylan Andrews to stop this fight early. Andrews by TKO (due to punches) in the 1st stanza.
Until next time,
Peace!
Peace!
