From prospect to contender, that is the jump that UFC welterweight Curtis Millender is trying to make this weekend at UFC Wichita.
Millender is undefeated in the UFC, winning his first three fights in the promotion. The lengthy, creative striker will get his first taste of a ranked opponent in the form of No. 14 Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. It will also be Millender’s first time being featured in the co-main event slot on a UFC card.
The recognition is something that Millender is happy to be receiving and he’s excited for the bright lights on Saturday.
