Legacy flyweight title finally to be decided; Flick and Campuzano both confident to win
After almost a year of jockeying and a cancelled fight each against would-be contender Chad Robichaux, the promotion’s flyweight title will finally be decided when Jimmy Flick and Will Campuzano square off against the much-desired belt.
“It’s time to break the brick.” That’s what Campuzano has been saying for the past few months concerning the fight. It’s what he said in the cage the night it was announced in Houston and it’s probably what will cross his mind again as he walks out of the dressing room towards the cage on fight night. To him this is the culmination of a lot of hard work. Will has been in a perpetual training camp since he was supposed to fight Robo this past summer and he’s eager for a win. Should he beat Flick, it would mark his third in a row since his last stint in the UFC. With a title also on the line, a victory here could do a lot in getting him that much closer to going back. At 26 years old, he’s definitely got another run on his mind and only “The Brick” stands in his way.
“I can’t wait to show everybody how good I am,” he says about the fight. “I’m going to put a beating on Campuzano. This brick can’t be broken.”

Instead what the crowd (both live and those watching on TV) got was a premature finish based on freak injury as opposed to anything either fighter did when Hobar’s elbow dislocated awkwardly giving the win to Peterson. The old adage is that “a win is a win” and yet that left a whole lot to be desired. Now they’ll step in again to see once and for all who gets to advance in the hotly-contested featherweight division.
