“Raging” Al, ladies and gentleman, the gift that keeps on giving.
Iaquinta hasn’t had the best relationship with the promotion, despite the fact that he’s one of the most successful 155-pound fighters in the division when he actually gets a fight. Al -- who is on a five-fight win streak — most recently beat the brakes of Diego Sanchez earlier this year (see it), which was his first fight in two years after a contract dispute forced him to the bench.
As for when he’ll return next, that’s a bit unclear at the moment, as an injury forced him out UFC 218 earlier this month. But since he dropped Kevin Lee’s name on his Christmas list, I’m sure that’s a gift many fight fans wouldn’t be opposed to receiving.
