John Makdessi vs Kyle Watson added to UFC 129
Sources close to the fight have informed Top MMA News that John Makdessi vs Kyle Watson has been added to the April 30th UFC 129 event at the Rogers Bell Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
Kyle Watson was on the latest season of Ultimate Fighter and did very well, losing only in the Semi finals to eventual season winner Jonathan Brookins. Kyle had a successful UFC debut at the Ultimate Fighter season Finale against fellow TUF 12 castmate Sako Chivitchyan by Decision.
Both camps have verbally agreed to the matchup and contracts are expected to be signed in the next few days.
I like it!
rock solid. makdessi needs to keep this on the feet, and KO watson
GSP coached Watson for 6 weeks on TUF, I suspect thats a good reason for this matchup. This is Makdessi’s true test in the UFC.
