Chris
Gutierrez will square off against Jean
Matsumoto in a bantamweight contest at UFC
313.
Both fighters confirmed the pairing on social media following an
initial report from Marcel Dorff. UFC 313 takes place on March
8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A headliner has not been
confirmed for the event.
Gutierrez has won two of his last three Octagon appearances. In his
lone bout of 2024, “El Guapo”
outpointed Quang Le at
UFC on ESPN 61 on Aug. 10. The 33-year-old Factory
X representative has compiled a 9-3-1 mark during his
promotional tenure.
Brazil’s Matsumoto has been victorious in his first 16 professional
outings — including two in UFC competition. The
Dana White’s Contender Series alum went 2-0 in 2024, submitting
Dan
Argueta at UFC Fight Night 240 before outpointing Brad Katona
at UFC Fight Night 245.
