Wellmaker mentioned that he knew on 4 or 5 pm on Thursday, he would be fighting Ethyn Ewing at 145 pounds instead of the initially scheduled Cody Haddon for the Saturday, November 15th card. During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, when asked if he watched film on Ethyn Ewing and if did the requisite research on his newly booked adversary for the Madison Square Garden matchup, Wellmaker said, "Oh, man.
