A lightweight clash pitting “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 31 winner
Kurt
Holobaugh against Kaynan
Kruschewsky has been added to a UFC
Fight Night card set to take place at the Apex in Las Vegas on
July 20.
The news was first reported by MMAjunkie.com on X (formerly known as Twitter). The report was later
confirmed by Holobaugh in an Instagram post.
The bout against Kruschewsky will serve as the second outing of
Holobaugh’s third
Ultimate Fighting Championship stint. “The Hurt” will face the
Brazilian coming off a unanimous decision loss to Trey Ogden
in March that snapped a three-fight win streak for the Louisiana
native.
As for Kruschewsky, “Bahia” will enter the Octagon on the heels of
a brutal Round 1 knockout loss at the hands of Elves
Brener in his promotional debut back in November 2023. The loss
snapped a seven-fight undefeated streak for the former Jungle
Fight lightweight champion, who earned a UFC contract thanks to
a Round 1 technical submission victory over Dylan
Mantello in an appearance on
Dana White’s Contender Series.
