What more does John Phillips need to do to convince the UFC he’s worth a shot in the big leagues?
The Welsh middleweight, who trains out of SBG, scored his fourth consecutive knockout victory at the Budo Fighting Championships 16 event in Swansea, Wales on Saturday night.
Phillips rendered his opponent Otavio Javali unconscious with a beautifully destructive left hook that found home perfectly on his opponent’s chin and sent him crashing backwards to the canvas in a heap. The win comes off the back of his knockout victories over Charlie Ward, Marcus Di Gallo and Cheick Kone, leaving him with a streak that should grab the UFC’s matchmakers attention should they require a middleweight for any upcoming cards.

Considering how impressive he’s looked of late, it’s not surprising that the calls for the UFC to sign him up have started.
