Thread: Wolfslair Lightweight Warburton Talks UFC Deal

Caught up with Curt to talk about his thoughts on the signing, the UFC lightweight division and his eagerness to return to action.

“I was pretty gobsmacked when my management at the Wolfslair told me,” Curt announced of his four-fight deal. “I think they were trying for the next WEC but the card was already filling up. Then they came in with these contracts for me, Rob and Tom and we all had to sign. I was thinking ‘Oh my god, this is a dream come true’ and it still hasn’t really sunk in a few days later.”

Continuing to address the critics that believe British fighters have no wrestling ability, Warburton begged to differ, stating, “To be honest, I don’t think I could wrestle with a lot of these guys, but I don’t think there’s anyone better at takedown defence than us. Fair enough not offensively, but defensively. We’ve got these Iranian wrestlers over and they saying how hard we are to take down. I’m concentrating really hard on my technique and really trying to pick up my skills in the time until I’ve got to fight.”

Curt is a really nice guy and has sacrificed a lot in order to fulfil his fighting dreams. All the best to him.

So.. are we gonna see the new Wolfslair lads fight in the October O2 Arena London card?

I would imagine they will have a few new signings on the october card, as much as i want to see Sass take on an American i would like to see Curt Vs Sass in october

I'd have to put the cash on Sass.

Me too, Warburton is good though

Am I the only one who thinks the ufc are bias to certain gyms ? They don't seem to do much research just sign people that go to the same gym as already successful fighters

As with everything in life, it is all about who you know. I know Paul Kelly recenly complained about the management at the Wolfslair but they seem to be quite effective.

AWsome!
