Joe Soto has agreed to step in on less than a weeks notice and fight this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 98.
Soto, a former Bellator champion, replaces Guido Cannetti in a bout with Marco Beltran that will air as part of the FOX Sports 1 prelims. Cannetti recently came under the eye of USADA for a possible anti-doping violation.
It was over two years ago that Soto (16-5) made his UFC debut, replacing Renan Barao and challenging T.J. Dillashaw for the bantamweight title. He pushed Dillashaw to the fifth round before falling via knockout.
After back-to-back losses to Anthony Birchak and Michinori Tanaka, Soto finally got in the win column with a submission vs. Chris Beal.
Beltran (8-3) has won each of his last three – all coming in the Octagon – including a July submission of Reginaldo Vieira.
UFC Fight Night 98 features Rafael dos Anjos vs. Tony Ferguson in the main event from Mexico.
When most individuals think about mixed martial arts as a sport no doubt they sum the style up as a mixture of muay thai, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Now that isn’t entirely too far off as most people who enter the sport come from one of those particular backgrounds. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit in other combat arts. To think that there’s only one formula to getting things done in MMA would be pretty foolhardy.
When most individuals think about mixed martial arts as a sport no doubt they sum the style up as a mixture of muay thai, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Now that isn’t entirely too far off as most people who enter the sport come from one of those particular backgrounds. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit in other combat arts. To think that there’s only one formula to getting things done in MMA would be pretty foolhardy. No one thought that karate had a place in serious combat, but it’s a notion that doesn’t hold much water. It’s a lesson that many people have learned at the hands of traditional martial artists Lyoto Machida and Stephen Thompson. Now it seems that ahead of his battle against former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, Tony Ferguson is utilizing a traditional martial art to help bolster his game.
If you’re a martial arts movie enthusiast then there’s no way that you haven’t at least heard about Ip Man. The movie stars Donnie Yen portraying the real life figure who trained Bruce Lee in the art Wing Chun. The movie highlighted just how graceful and dangerous the martial art could be. Donnie Yen’s portrayal help to shine a light on martial art once more and has sparked renewed interest in Wing Chun.
Now it seems that Tony Ferguson is utilizing this same martial art in preparation for his November 5 showdown. Take a look at the training video as the UFC lightweight does his thing on the traditional training tool for the Wing Chun specialist, the wooden dummy.

In addition to the fight week hype video showcasing former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos’ journey leading up to the big fight, his opponent, Tony Ferguson is also the focus of a hype video for the UFC’s headline bout for their return to Mexico next weekend.
