""The last 48 hours, Thursday I woke up, past my alarms. There's about 25 missed calls on my cell phone and they said, 'Hey the UFC's calling. Better get up and get ready'. I went, I cut weight before they even said yes," he said. "Drove all around LA till about 8 o'clock at night (doing medicals), and then I jammed straight to LAX. Obviously the rest has come to fruition.""
""Well the next one will be at bantamweight, 135, so I'll definitely need more than 48 hours to prepare for that," he said. "My last fight before this one I said whoever and wherever. I got a baby boy coming December 10th so I would like to stay home and be able to attend to the family. Then January, February, and they call me up, I'll be well prepared and very hungry to get back in the cage.""
Ethyn Ewing outworked and outlasted Malcolm Wellmaker at UFC 322 to secure a gritty, career-defining victory. Ewing entered the fight on two days' notice after Cody Haddon withdrew with an injury. Ewing cut weight, completed medicals across Los Angeles and flew from LAX to make the bout at Madison Square Garden. Crowd reaction was mixed, with boos and cheers during the performance. Ewing plans to move to bantamweight (135 pounds) and expects to require more preparation time for his next fight. A baby boy is due December 10, and Ewing expressed a desire to be home for the birth while remaining eager to return to competition.
