Yahoo Sports Bellator veteran Lance Gibson Jr. calls for UFC signing, spot on Seattle card
Lance Gibson Jr. wants to become the next second-generation UFC fighter.
Gibson Jr. (9-1), a six-fight Bellator veteran, is the son of Lance Gibson Sr., who made two octagon appearances in 2000.
After parting ways with Bellator earlier this year following PFL's acquisition of the promotion, Gibson Jr. recently picked up a submission victory on the regional scene. Now the 29-year-old is calling for an opportunity at UFC Fight Night 252, which takes place Feb. 22 in his birth city of Seattle.
