Mike Constantino, the new manager of former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner, has revealed he fully expects his man to return to the ranks of the UFC shortly and immediately make a run at the lightweight title and possibly win it. “We basically came to the decision that it’s in the best interest of Jamie to come here full time, and I’m willing to take on Jamie as a manager and a trainer. I think he’s extremely talented. The kid’s 26 years old, only, and you already know what he’s accomplished. By having him full-time training with all my fighters and all our trainers here at AMA and doing everything right, I truly believe that not only could he be back in the UFC shortly, he could go straight to the top and win a championship.”
Varner has had one fight since being cut free from the Zuffa ranks following his WEC 53 loss to Shane Roller, defeating Tyler Combs via technical submission in the first round at XFO 39. Will he really be able to make a run at the UFC gold?
