LAS VEGAS – Officially, UFC lightweight James Vick is undefeated in the octagon. Unofficially, a single blemish remains on his record. Vick, who at Saturday’s UFC 197 picked up his fifth straight UFC win, wants to change that, and that’s why he still pines for a fight with Michael Chiesa, who beat him in the semifinals of an exhibition bout featured on “The Ultimate Fighter 15.” “I want that fight more than anything,” Vick (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) said backstage after outpointing Glaico Franca (13-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the FOX Sports 1-televised preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC 197 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “I would rather fight him in anybody in the division, by far.” Vick has wanted the rematch for no less than four years ago, when Chiesa knocked him out in the second round. The loss sent the two on different paths.
