BOSTON – After a rough 2017, Gian Villante almost certainly was happy to see the calendar turn this month. But he’s not one to make New Year’s resolutions, at least when it comes to his fighting career. Instead, the light heavyweight believes getting over his two-fight skid is a matter of just wrapping up things once he has an opponent hurt. That’s something he said he didn’t do when he was stopped in the third round by former champ Mauricio Rua 10 months ago, and when he dropped a split decision to Patrick Cummins in July. Related Gian Villante on 'weird' UFC on FOX 25 scrap with Patrick Cummins: 'I don't know where I lost' “I’ve had some rough ones, man – ones where I had the guys hurt and don’t finish the guys,” Villante today told MMAjunkie.
