Jay Hieron left his return to the UFC with a loss on Friday, but also with a renewed confidence in his standing.
Hieron, fighting in the UFC for the first time since 2005, lost a unanimous decision to Jake Ellenberger at UFC on FX 5 in Minneapolis, but it didn’t feel much like a loss to him.
Hieron said he believes he won the fight, and he’s ready to get back in the cage against another top-shelf opponent.
