His success in the UFC varied, but one thing was always certain, Nick Pace is a daunting opponent for anyone that steps into the cage with him. Pace's submission game is on another level and his experience fighting guys like Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and Miguel Torres makes fighting at CFFC 63 just another day at the office.
