LAS VEGAS – There were times where even Jay Hieron wondered if he would ever get back into the UFC.
“It is tough, living in Vegas, living in the UFC’s hometown, and seeing all these big cards all the time,” Hieron said on Wednesday as he prepares for his first fight in the UFC in seven years.
Hieron recently got a UFC 151 co-main-event pay-per-view bout as a late replacement against Jake Ellenberger on Sept. 1 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
