James “Sandman” Irvin today told MMAjunkie.com that while he expects to be released from the UFC, he remains positive about his fighting future and wants to compete again in three months.
The veteran suffered his third consecutive loss this past Sunday at UFC on Versus 2 when Igor Pokrajac submitted him in the first round of their preliminary-card meeting.
“I think I need to have two or three fights in smaller shows and then get back into it,” Irvin said.
