BAD MMA News — Thu, 24 May 2018 19:02:42 +0000

LIVERPOOL, England – Daniel Kelly is hoping for the best possible outcome for his fight on Sunday at UFC Fight Night 130. However, he has also prepared for the possibility of the worst. Kelly (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who at 40 is sitting on a two-fight skid for the first time, feels he’s in a do-or-die situation ahead of his UFC Fight Night 130 matchup with Tom Breese (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) when it comes to both his UFC and MMA careers. Not only does Kelly think he would be cut from the UFC roster with another loss, but he said he doesn’t have much of a desire to compete elsewhere if that should become reality. The Aussie has done everything in his power to assure that doesn’t happen, though, and that includes mixing up his usual preparation by training in Thailand and Ireland.
