Brad Pickett tog sig under helgen an Mike Easton vid UFC Stockholm 2013, en match som Pickett kammades hem via ett delat domslut. Nu siktar Brad uppåt i rankingarna och vill möta Michael McDonald, så här sade Pickett efter matchen mot Easton:
I actually would like to fight someone ranked above me for once. I always get people below me. Maybe somebody like Michael McDonald would be a good fight. Anyone above me. Give me somebody above me.
In the last fight (against Wineland), everyone said I was one-dimensional. This time, I looked to change and mix things up. I think it went well for me tonight.
Mötet med Mike blev slutligen galans ”Fight of the Night” och båda deltagarna fick 60 000 dollar extra för sina insatser i oktagonen.
