Another featherweight tilt has been added to the ever expanding UFC 159 fight card, as Jimy Hettes meets Steven Siler.
UFC officials announced the featherweight match-up...
The show picks up right where we left off at the aftermath of the Akira Corassani defeat of Dustin Neace. Neace is still bitter about the fight not being stopped in the first round as he secured a deep heel hook submission, and caused Akira to tap. Regardless if Akira's tap was seen or not seen by the referee, Neace should have held the submission until the referee had broken up the fight. Instead, it looked like Neace loosened the hold right after he felt Akira tap, giving Akira an opportunity to escape and continue the fight. Jason Mayhem Miller chalks up the fight as a great learning experience for Neace and the rest of his team to not stop fighting until the referee stops you from fighting.
