Frank Trigg (19-7) will get another fight with the UFC.

After UFC 103 during the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White suggested that Trigg might be dropped following his loss to Josh Koscheck.

On Monday, Trigg learned that he would be getting a second chance.

“They said I’ll get one more shot, another fight, to prove I belong here,” Trigg told MMAjunkie.com. “If I win, they’ve got to keep me around. If I lose and it’s back-to-back losses, they’ll probably drop me, rightfully so.”

“No disrespect to Koscheck, but the fight only went a minute (and) 40 (seconds), and he only got in one good shot,” Trigg said. “In my mind, nothing really happened. I got caught. We could fight again, and I think it would be an entirely different outcome.”

“My understanding when I signed my deal – well, at first, they offered me a fight with Johny Hendricks,” Trigg said. “But I didn’t want that fight because I know Johny and used to train him. A couple weeks later, they offered me Josh Koscheck. They said, ‘We gave Josh a couple options, and he chose you too.’

“They basically said, ‘If you lose, we have to keep you for one more fight since Josh is a top-five guy and it’s such a tough fight,” he said. “That’s why I was so surprised that Dana said that I was being cut.”

Trigg is back in the gym and hoping that his he won’t have to wait long for his next opponent. He’s hoping to make an appearance on one of the December or January cards, and hopes he can fight in front of his home town crowd in Las Vegas.

“I’m ready to fight, and I want to fight,” he said. “But I just want to fight in the UFC.”
