In a division desperate for new blood, top prospects Nikita Krylov and Misha Cirkunov face off at UFC 206 in Toronto on Saturday night. It is a high-stakes light heavyweight match-up that could determine the division’s next star.
Considering the UFC‘s lack of depth in the 205-pound division, it’s a bit odd that they’re matching two of their best prospects in Krylov with Cirkunov. We certainly can’t complain though.
Krylov has quietly become one of the most exciting and dangerous fighters in the UFC. This parallels to the start of his career when he arguably looked like one of the worst fighter’s on the roster.
