Ten days before their co-main event bout at UFC 128, bantamweights Urijah Faber and Eddie Wineland said Wednesday they only have one thing on their minds – a win, then a title shot.
Though all the pieces would appear to be in place for the winner of the fight to possibly get a coaching spot on this fall’s 14th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” both Faber and Wineland, making their UFC debuts, said they can’t think about that now.
“I don’t know what (the UFC’s) criteria is for that – they seem to change it up a lot,” Faber (24-4, 9-3 WEC) said on a media conference call. “And I haven’t heard anything at all. I feel like this (fight) is a shot to get a title shot, which is most important to me. The reality show thing would be great, but my focus is getting that belt.”
