Former Olympic judoka and current UFC middleweight Daniel Kelly said he was fighting for his career when he stepped into the cage against Steve Montgomery in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia at UFC 193. A fight that he won by unanimous decision after three hard-battled rounds.

“I would have been out of the UFC, and to be honest, I’m not going back to local shows.” Kelly said to the press. “I’m 38 years old, I won’t ever get a bump back up. I’ll have nothing else to prove.”

Someone that will have a lot to prove in the future is fellow judoka Ronda Rousey, who’s toughness is now put into question after losing her title to contender Holly Holm. Daniel shared with BeyondTheGame.TV his opinion on the recently dethroned queen of UFC.
