Pulls upset in UFC 297 opener
Flick defeated Malcolm Gordon via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:17 of Round 2 at UFC 297 in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It will almost certainly go down as the most lucrative night of Flick's professional career. Not only will he pick up his show and win bonuses, but he will also walk away with 20 percent of Gordon's purse after the latter missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning. Flick was overwhelmed by Gordon in Round 1, but Malcolm appeared to gas himself out in the process. That left Jimmy with the opportunity to land a Round 2 takedown before eventually earning the submission win. More importantly, the win likely saved Flick's job, as the 33-year-old Oklahoma native entered with back-to-back knockout losses on his resume.

No-shows loss in Vegas
Flick lost to Alessandro Costa via TKO (elbows) at 1:03 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Flick lasted just over six minutes, which may not seem all that great, but was actually quite impressive considering how much damage he absorbed. Jimmy spent the entire bout serving as a punching bag for Costa. He absorbed countless leg kicks which left him hampered the rest of the way. One that connected early in Round 2 forced Flick to the mat, and Costa responded with countless, unanswered elbows which closed the show. Flick began his UFC run with a submission win over Cody Durden in December 2020, but he spent more than two years on the sidelines afterwards and has been knocked out in both fights since returning. He'll almost certainly be fighting for his job his next time out.
