Ricky Simon lost to Urijah Faber in the first round. Mentally defeated but came back with no mullet against Ray Borg, Former UFC Flyweight Title Challenger. Looks gradually everything is coming together for the 27 year old Bantamweight.

All my fights have been tough fights and I’m constantly improving and I’m definitely sitting back and appreciating it, but this morning (last Friday), the first thing I did when I woke up was go on a four-mile run and I’m trying to figure out when I can get back to the gym.”
