Christian Ocon (4-0) vs. Hunter Azure (6-0)
Someone’s “0” has got to go as undefeated bantamweights collide in a battle to make an impression on the UFC brass and hopefully net an invite to the biggest stage in the sport.
The 23-year-old Ocon has never tasted defeat inside the cage, having parlayed a 3-0 amateur run into a 4-0 start as a professional. Last time out in March, the Nashville-based newcomer scored a unanimous decision win over Reginald Adams, marking the first time he’s gone the distance since turning pro.
Azure is the latest upstart from The MMA Lab in Glendale, Arizona to work his way into position to potentially graduate to the UFC level. Head coach John Crouch has always done an outstanding job cultivating talent, guiding them through their amateur careers and into life as a professional fighter and thus far, the 27-year-old Azure has experienced nothing but success.
He’s emerged victorious in 13 straight trips into the cage dating back to his amateur days and another triumph on Tuesday could very well earn him a UFC contract.
