Georgian Ultimate Fighting Championship prospect
Guram
Kutateladze isn’t enthusiastic about straightforward fights.
Contemporary off current introduced pairings of Terrance
McKinney vs. Ismael
Bonfim and Jailton
Almeida vs. Shamil
Abdurakhimov for UFC 283
in January, a brand new light-weight scrap has been added to its
ever-growing lineup. Per Canal
Encarada on Tuesday, and later confirmed by Kutateladze’s
(12-3) opponent Thiago
Moises (16-6) on his Instagram web page, the
two will sq. off on Jan. 21. With 10 bouts at present on its
billing, each single match comprises one Brazilian competitor.
Kutateladze noticed a powerful nine-fight win streak, which included
a victorious debut in opposition to then-unbeaten Mateusz
Gamrot, come to an finish in June. In an exhilarating contest that
may have gone both means, Kutateladze fell quick by cut up
determination to Damir
Ismagulov at UFC on ESPN 37. “Georgian Viking” made his approach to
the group off of a number of spectacular performances – together with
three first-round knockouts – within the Superior Problem and
Brave Combat Federation promotions from 2018 to
2019.
Brazil’s Moises rebounded from two powerful stoppage losses to
Joel
Alvarez and present champ Islam
Makhachev by tapping out Christos
Giagos in June. That victory lifted Moises’ UFC win proportion
above .500, as he had beforehand suffered losses to Beneil
Dariush and Damir
Ismagulov as effectively. Previous to the defeat to Makhachev, the
Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil signee had
rattled off three straight wins over Michael
Johnson, Bobby Green
and Alexander
Hernandez to position himself among the many top-ranked fighters at 155
kilos.
UFC 283 will go down on the Jeunesse Area in Rio de Janeiro on
Jan. 21, and there’s at present no headliner on the books. One
championship battle sits on the marquee however not as the principle occasion,
with the tetralogy flyweight battle between Deiveson
Figueiredo and Brandon
Moreno for the strap. Different fights more likely to obtain excessive
billing – the bout order isn’t at present set – embrace a lightweight
heavyweight rumble pitting Paul Craig
in opposition to Johnny
Walker, a flyweight contest between Jessica
Andrade and Lauren
Murphy and a 205-pound affair as Mauricio Rua
takes on Ihor
Potieria.
