JIMMY CRUTE VS. PAUL CRAIG
Undefeated Australian prospect Jimmy Crute will look to build on his dominant performance as part of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series when he makes his official UFC debut against Paul Craig this weekend. Crute has earned eight victories in his career with five of those ending by way of knockout or submission. He’ll have his hands full in his first fight inside the Octagon as he takes on a veteran in Craig, who is a submission specialist with a nasty armbar and a slick triangle choke finish on his UFC resume.
SUMAN MOKHTARIAN VS. SODIQ YUSUFF
Former Ultimate Fighter competitor Suman Mokhtarian will make his UFC debut this weekend while taking on a Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series veteran in Sodiq Yusuff. In his career, Yusuff earned four finishes by knockout and he’ll definitely be gunning for his fifth this weekend. Mokhtarian will attempt to stop him while trying to keep his own perfect record intact in front of a home audience in Australia.
YUSHIN OKAMI VS. ALEKSEI KUNCHENKO
Former title challenger Yushin Okami will look to build on his last win against Dhiego Lima when he returns to action this weekend against undefeated Russian prospect Aleksei Kunchenko. Throughout his career, Okami has proven to be a tough out for anybody from light heavyweight all the way down to welterweight, where he’s now competing. He’ll have his hands full with Kunchenko, who holds a perfect 19-0 record, including an impressive win over perennial contender Thiago Alves in his UFC debut.
