IT’S BEEN A disappointing year for Ross Pearson but the Englishman is keen to end it on a positive note tomorrow night at UFC Fight Night 99.
In what will be his fifth outing of 2016, Pearson will take on Scotland’s Stevie Ray in the co-main event at the SSE Arena in Belfast.
Having suffered three defeats already this year, Pearson is currently not in a position to expect fights against some of the top contenders in the lightweight division, which Conor McGregor was crowned champion of last weekend.
However, the 32-year-old Sunderland native has confidence in his ability and believes a win over Ray this weekend can be a launchpad for what he hopes will be a much better 2017.
“I would love to get into that mix. It’s what I work for. It’s what I’ve dreamt of since I was a little kid. I’ve had some rocky roads, some setbacks, but I’m feeling great and I’m ready to make a push,” Pearson told The42.
“I’m not getting any younger. I’ve already been in this sport for 10 years. I’m ready to make a push. I match up well with anyone in the division and I’ll fight anyone in the division.”

Can see it happening, two carefully choreographed routines and the rumble is on, but how to blend wrestling and diving together?………….hmmmmm
