Ryan Chiappe is facing Tim Skidmore this Saturday in Prince George as part of Bill Mahood's XFC 10 card.
The KOTC middleweight champ said that he'd like a shot at the KOTC welterweight title soon.
My opponent is Tim Skidmore, I know hes from Halifax where I believe he run his own school. He’s definitely got a lot of experience, he’s a veteran of the sport. On paper he may not have the greatest record but it’s still going to be a tough fight. I plan on going in there and do what I always do; I am going to be aggressive and take the fight to him. I have been working my standup quite a bit and this might be the perfect fight to showcase some of those skills, but if the take down is there I will take it.
I defiantly have my eyes on returning to welterweight after my next fight I am going to looking to take some welterweight fights, maybe get the KOTC Welterweight belt or look for other opportunities. Realistically I am not the biggest middleweight so I think at 170 I could get the opportunity to fight on bigger shows like Dream, Strikeforce, or UFC.
