Before Vick returns to The Lone Star State to take on “Massaranduba,” let’s take a closer look at his career by the numbers.
3: “The Ultimate Fighter” wins. Vick went 3-1 on TUF, losing in the
semi-finals of the tournament. Vick fell to Michael
Chiesa via second round TKO to end his appearance on the live
edition of the series.
4: Decision wins. Vick’s 12-1 record includes four decision victories. All four have come via unanimous decision.
0: Fight Night losses. UFC Fight Night cards have been incredibly kind to Vick since joining the UFC. The lightweight holds a perfect 5-0 record and returns to a UFCFN card after consecutive pay-per-view lineup appearances.
1: Career bout at welterweight. Prior to making the jump to the big show, the lightweight made a single appearance at welterweight at STFC 16 “All or Nothing.” Vick defeated Mike Salazar via first round TKO.
1: Performance of the Night bonus. Vick has rarely received fight bonuses in his UFC career, with just a single POTN award for a guillotine choke victory against Jake Matthews at UFC Fight Night 65.
7: Fights in his home state of Texas. Vick has unsurprisingly fought and competed well in Texas throughout his career. Vick is a perfect 7-0, including a win at UFC 211 in Dallas against Marco Polo Reyes.
0.9: Submission attempts per 15 minutes. With five submission wins, Vick attempts 0.9 submissions per fight to date in his career per Fight Metric’s numbers.
