Colin "Freakshow" Fletcher signed by UFC

UK lightweight Colin Fletcher (8-2) is eager to get into the UFC winner's column. A fan favourite on The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, "Freakshow" lost to Northern Irishman Norman Parke (17-2) in last month's finale on the Gold Coast, Australia. It was uncertain whether his exciting style and big personality would earn him a contract despite the setback. The rangy submission fighter from Sunderland told fans the good news via Twitter today.

Good to hear, I wonder who he'll fight

 

congrats to Colin Freakshow! I look to see massive improvements from him in his next fight, he's one of the biggest lightweights which will play to his advantage

 

I like him, but he needs to step up his game. He's definitely at the very bottom if the UFC lightweight division.

 

Good shit

 

He's a great guy, glad he was signed.

He desperately needs to work on his wrestling though!

 

He was signed before the final?

Do they sign a pre contract kinda deal before tuf? Otherwise what's the point of winning the show?!

 

maybe the six figure contract

 

Ayyyyyy Col Really hope he gets a win under his belt. I think the nerves got the better of him in the finale.

 

Nice. Really liked him in the smashes. I'll be rooting for me.

 

I'm guessing most fighters have six figure contracts in general.

 

He became annoying on the show.

But, good luck to the man, I wish him all the best.

 

im guessin only the really impressive guys get offered a fight contract. after the show and before the finale

 

great news for the freakshow..
i hope he can improve his game and put up a good show..

 

Sadly I don't really see him sticking around for that long. Really grew to like the guy on the show though. Lightweight is probably the toughest division for new blood to break into.

 

I'd like to see Freakshow move to a new team in the States.

I feel he can really improve his game a great deal and I'd love to see what he's capable of.

 

just found out a guy i trained with beat him

 

Given how nice of an ass Freakshow has it gave me a tingle to think of him on the bottom. Thanks.
