Jimmy Flick tells fans ‘don't blink' ahead of UFC 297 fight
Jimmy Flick is no stranger to exciting fights win, lose, or draw. There is not one Flick fight that you can watch and say that fight was boring. He is a fighter that leaves it all out there whether is giving punishment or on the receiving end of the punishment and he expects it to be nothing less when he steps into the octagon to take on Malcolm Gordon at UFC 297.
“Don't blink, don't blink. I know the last ones, they ain't been special but this one is going to be special. I know what I need to do and I've been working really hard back in the Sand Springs wrestling room where this all started from the beginning when I was three years old. I am trying to motivate these kids. They are chasing these state championships, I am chasing fame. So we're in there putting in hard work, and come January 20th you're going to see the Jimmy ‘The Brick' Flick back man. It's going to be my old self, I'm coming straight forward, I'm going to put Malcolm Gordon on his back and I am going to choke him out.”
Jimmy “The Brick” Flick returns to the octagon but this time in front of what should be a sold-out crowd in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on January 20th when he takes on Malcolm Gordon in a loser-goes-home type of fight which should be exciting from bell to bell.
