Inconsistent ways continue
Flick lost to Nate Maness via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Flick picked up an upset submission win over Malcolm Gordon this past January and earned a fresh new contract with the company in the process. The UFC did him no favors here, however, as he went off as a +450 underdog, largest on the entire card. As is typically the case, Flick's toughness was on full display, but he simply was never able to get his grappling game going against Maness, and he never had a prayer of winning in a back-and-forth kickboxing match. Flick's new deal suggests his roster spot is secure for the time being, but his 1-3 record in his past four bouts suggests he better get his act together sooner than later.

Taking on Maness
Flick has re-signed with the UFC and is scheduled to fight Nate Maness at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on June 15, James Lynch of Middle Easy reports.
ANALYSIS
Flick is coming off an upset win over Malcolm Gordon at UFC 297 back in January. He's now set to face off against a bantamweight in Maness, who recently dropped out of a scheduled match against Azat Maksum for undisclosed reasons.

Pulls upset in UFC 297 opener
Flick defeated Malcolm Gordon via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:17 of Round 2 at UFC 297 in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It will almost certainly go down as the most lucrative night of Flick's professional career. Not only will he pick up his show and win bonuses, but he will also walk away with 20 percent of Gordon's purse after the latter missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning. Flick was overwhelmed by Gordon in Round 1, but Malcolm appeared to gas himself out in the process. That left Jimmy with the opportunity to land a Round 2 takedown before eventually earning the submission win. More importantly, the win likely saved Flick's job, as the 33-year-old Oklahoma native entered with back-to-back knockout losses on his resume.
