Digs deep for decision win Wells defeated Themba Gorimbo via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Wells entered having lost back-to-back fights. He turned 39 years of age two days ago. He was clearly staring down the barrel of a release after dropping Round 1 to Gorimbo before turning things around. Wells landed one takedown in each of the final two frames, racking up 5:08 worth of control time in the process. He was a bit more active late in the fight in terms of generating offense from top position, in addition to making sure Themba remained plastered to the mat. In the end, it all resulted in a 29-28 victory in the eyes of all three judges. It's important to remember Wells won each of his first four UFC fights prior to this recent two-fight setback.

Facing Gorimbo in Vegas Wells will take on Themba Gorimbo in a welterweight bout at UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Nov. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Wells could use a win -- he's dropped his last two fights at the hands of Carlston Harris and Max Griffin, respectively. That dropped his UFC record to 4-2 after a perfect start in the promotion. His next opponent, Gorimbo, is also coming off a loss and looking to right the ship while sitting at 4-2 in the UFC.

Draws Gustafsson in late-May Wells will take on Andreas Gustafsson in a welterweight matchup at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Impact Wells came away victorious in his first four trips to the Octagon, but has since dropped back-to-back fights. He'll look to right the ship against Gustafsson, a Contender Series product who will be making his official UFC debut. Wells will give up four inches in height, but the two have similar reach numbers. Expect Wells to use his wrestling to close the distance and make this one ugly.
