Review: 2011-12-30, very nice first round then the pace slows down but the fight between Nam Phan and Jim Hettes was, for us, the best fight of UFC 141 (fight ended by unanimous decision). Nam Phan (17-9-0) entered as the No.58 featherweight in the world while Jim Hettes (9-0-0) entered as the No.65. Phan vs Hettes is on the undercard of Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem, UFC 141.
