UFC’s Sean Shelby Reports Al Iaquinta Will be Back in Octagon “Soon”
Al Iaquinta
By FCF Staff
Al Iaquinta hasn’t fought since April, 2015, due to a contract dispute with the UFC, but it looks like the heavy handed lightweight could be returning to the Octagon soon.
Iaquinta was expected to fight Thiago Alves at UFC 205 last November, but ultimately the New York fighter decided not to compete. Iaquinta wanted more compensation to make up for the sponsorship revenue he says he lost, on account of the Reebok uniform deal.
Well, recently UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby posted the image and comments below:
