WEC 45 - Brad Pickett Vs. Kyle Dietz
WEC 45 - On Saturday, Dec. 19 from The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV, bantamweight Kyle Dietz (5-1 MMA, 0-1 WEC) Vs. newcomer Brad Pickett (17-4 MMA, 0-0 WEC) square off in the octagon.
The fight is slated for the night's un-aired preliminary card.
Pickett, a longtime fighter on the British fight scene, recently signed with the UFC. Although he's competed previously at 145 pounds, he'll make his WEC debut at 135 pounds.
The Cage Rage and Ultimate Challenge UK veteran has fought in the U.S. in the past, though his WEC deal marks his first multi-fight contract with an American organization. He's currently riding a seven-fight win streak, which included an August win over former UFC fighter David Lee. Although 11 of his 17 wins have come via stoppage, only three came via way of knockout.
Dietz is coming off the first loss of his young career, which occurred in his WEC debut against Rafael Rebello at WEC 41 in June. Prior to the loss, he caught the WEC's eye by winning the first five fights of his career, including a 4-0 mark in the Extreme Challenge promotion. Dietz has finished all but one of his five career wins including three coming by submission.
STEP IN wishes Kyle luck this Saturday night, secure the victory over the Brit.
