The Ultimate Fighter ‘Nations’ alumni, Brendan O’Reilly, will be moving forward post TUF under the guidance of American based Big Fight Management.
The 26 year-old Brisbane based fighter joins fellow Gamebred team mate, and TUF ‘Smashes’ product, Ben ‘Manimal’ Wall, who signed on with the agency, which is head by Wade Hampel, early last year.
Wall was soon after signed to Texas based promotion Legacy FC, however, is now fighting in the UFC after answering a late notice call up to fight Alex Garcia at Brisbane’s UFC Fight Night 33 show. He’s currently scheduled to meet Justin Salas at a UFC Fight Night event in Cincinnati on 10 May.
Other notable talent on Big Fight Management’s roster include UFC fighters Francisco Trevino, Charles Oliveira and Lucas Martins.
Whether he’s UFC bound or not, ‘The Badger’ will need to fulfill his TUF ‘Nations’ obligations before any decisions can be made about his immediate future. Despite losing to team Canada’s Kajan Johnson in episode 1, the Aussie will no doubt be hoping to secure a shot in the UFC following the show’s conclusion.
