YOU'VE got to hand it to John Phillips. He's doing everything he can to get himself seen by the UFC's top brass.

After the success of fellow countrymen Brett Johns and Jack Marshman at UFC Fight Night in Belfast, the big-punching Welshman has leapt into action, using his Twitter account to call for his own shot in the UFC.

And, not content with the straight-talking selfie video message he posted earlier this week, Phillips has gone the extra yard to let the UFC bosses know he's waiting for their call.

'The White Mike Tyson' has been out and about, taking an old school telephone with him wherever he goes.

He started his day in bed, before getting showered and setting off for a haircut.

Then he took a trip to the coast for an ice cream, followed by a stint playing in an amusement arcade.

And every step of the way he had his trusty telephone, as he showed in a brilliant series of photos as he documented his day waiting for the UFC's call.

Of course, self-promotion is one thing, but the ability to produce the goods in the cage is another.

And Phillips has proved more than capable of doing that, too.

The former BAMMA middleweight champion is currently riding a four-fight win streak, with all four wins coming by KO and the last three coming inside the very first round.

The SBG-trained middleweight has a career record of 21 wins, 6 losses, 1 no contest with 18 wins by knockout.

And as his campaigning on Twitter shows, he's desperate to showcase his heavy hands on the world's biggest stage.
