Neil “Old Skool” Wain is a devastating striker with serious KO power. Of his 5 wins ALL have been first round T/KO’s. He took his first loss in his UFC debut after coming up against another powerhouse in Shane Carwin. He initially inked a 4 fight deal with the UFC but was unfortunately dropped after his loss to Carwin.
“Old Skool” will be looking to make a big impact in this tournament and show the UFC what they are missing out on by not having him in their marquee division. With another fight on Trojan MMA’s inaugural event on 27th feb already pencilled in, Wain is clearly intending to get active this year and make his way back to the big show.
Looking at the other fighters on the bill you can’t put him up there with the favourites and if I was a betting man I would have to put him down as one of the rank outsiders. That said with fists like his, he is ALWAYS in with a chance and the UFC obviously saw enough in him to give him a shot on the big show which is something none of the other fighters on the card claim.
