At UFC Long Island, rising bantamweight star Jimmie Rivera extended his winning streak to 20 by out pointing Brazilian Mauy Thai expert Thomas Almedia (21-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC).
Rivera (21-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) made a post fight callout of former titleholder Dominick Cruz also TUF 25 coach T.J. Dillashaw is in his sights.
Curren Champion Cody Garbrandt is out injured so a straight title shot may be out of the question, but we all know the UFC loves a good interim title bout and Jimmie Rivera is fine sitting it out if it involves a shot at gold in the 135 division!
