An exciting 205-pound bout has reportedly been added to Dec. 4’s
UFC bill.
According to LowKick MMA,
Dana White’s Contender Series alum Jamahal
Hill will face fellow DWCS graduate Jimmy Crute
on an upcoming UFC Fight Night event that’s supposed to go down on
Dec. 4. The matchup has been confirmed by several media outlets
since it was first reported. Initially, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship targeted the clash for its Oct.
2 UFC Fight Night card before moving it.
Hill (8-1, 1 NC, 2-1, 1 NC UFC) will try to bounce back after being
put away with elbows and punches by Paul Craig
at UFC 263. That night, “Sweet Dream” was subdued at the 1:59 mark
of Round 1 after having his arm snapped due to an armbar by
“Bearjew.” The loss ended an eight-bout winning streak by the
30-year-old Black Lion Jiu-Jitsu standout.
Australian up-and-coming prospect Crute (12-2, 4-2 UFC) is eager to
add another victory to the win column following his first knockout
loss. Most recently, “The Brute” was stopped by a freak injury to
his leg at the end of the first frame in his clash with Anthony
Smith at UFC 261. Prior, he stopped both Michal
Oleksiejczuk and Modestas
Bukauskas with a submission and a KO, respectively.
UFC Fight Night 199 will go down on Dec. 4. The UFC hasn’t
officially announced a venue yet. However, the Nevada-based
promotion might keep holding events at the UFC Apex due to the
ongoing COVID-19 situation. The card also features a couple of
lightweight battles as Chris
Gruetzemacher takes on Claudio
Puelles and Rafael
Fiziev faces Brad
Riddell.
