Brad Pickett calls out Miguel Torres in October

England's Brad Pickett has been given the fight he has been craving for five months after the UFC handed him a clash with Miguel Torres at UFC 130.

Pickett is one of Britain's most entertaining fighters, and he will make his UFC debut against Torres in the bantamweight division. Torres confirmed the news on his personal Twitter page.

"Got offered a fight with Brad Pickett for UFC 130," Torres wrote. "My answer was f*** yes, thank you and you're welcome."

Pickett has been calling for the Torres fight for months, telling ESPN back in October that he wanted to lock horns with the former WEC champion.

The Briton heads into the May 28 bout in Las Vegas having won 10 of his last 11 fights.
