Following a disappointing majority draw with Leonardo Santos, Norman Parke is ready to get back to work – against a bigger name in the UFC.

Parke (19-2-1 MMA, 3-0-1 UFC) and Santos (12-3-1 MMA, 1-0-1 UFC) fought to a draw at UFC Fight Night 38, which took place earlier this week at Ginasio Nelio Dias in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The main card with Parke-Santos aired on FOX Sports 1.

Two of the judges scored the fight 28-28, while a third gave the fight to Santos, 29-27. But in the second round, referee Wernei Cardoso took a point away from Parke without a warning for grabbing Santos’ shorts against the cage. Without the point deduction, which many believed to be excessive without a first warning, Parke would’ve won a split decision.

Moving forward, Parke, the “TUF Smashes” lightweight winner, said he’s looking for the type of opponent that will help bring a good show for the fans – something he confessed didn’t happen on Sunday in Brazil.

“I want someone who’s going come at me, test me, push me, keep me on the back foot and make a good fight for the fans,” Parke told MMAjunkie. “That never really happens. I’m hoping they give me someone like Joe Lauzon, maybe Michael Johnson. He likes to come forward. There are loads of great guys – maybe someone who’s been in the UFC a while, and that will show I’m capable of competing against any of those guys.”
