been going on without any loss.

into the UFC. However, he did win his second ever bout in the UFC at UFC 136 against Leonard Garcia in October 2011.
While entering into the ring at UFC 141, both fighters would get some sort aggression. For Hettes, securing his winning streak in his MMA career would be the main aim as he would not let Phan end his streak. On the other hand,
Phan would not want lose either, for he has a huge experience to safeguard and losing against a newcomer would be a humiliation.
