The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 11 veteran, Seth Baczynski, couldn't believe it.

Just over a year removed from losing his job with the UFC after a decision loss to Brad Tavares on the TUF 11 finale, he got the call to step in on short notice to replace the injured DaMarques Johnson against Clay Harvison on the UFC Fight Night 25 card.

Baczynski had gone 2-0 in his stint outside the promotion including a thrilling victory over Tim McKenzie in which he gutted through a nasty armbar and recovered to finish the fight with ground and pound in the first round.

The fighter out of Power MMA has made the drop to welterweight since his appearance on the reality show and he's ready to make an impact this Saturday night (September 17, 2011) in Louisiana.

Baczynski spoke with MMAmania.com about how good it feels to be back in the UFC, getting a second chance to make a good first impression and the current mood at his gym.
