Chris Daukaus will forego an opportunity to vie for the Cage Fury Fighting Championships heavyweight title in order to make his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut opposite Parker Porter at UFC 252 on Aug. 15 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. MMAJunkie.com on Wednesday was first to report the pairing.
Training out of Martinez BJJ in Philadelphia, Daukaus last fought at CFFC 77, where he cut down Danny Holmes with a head kick 90 seconds into the first round of their Aug. 16, 2019 encounter. The 30-year-old has rattled off six victories across his past seven appearances, losing only to Dana White’s Contender Series graduate Azunna Anyanwu.
