UFC Fight Night 204 has an unusually strong undercard, as it features Jack Shore vs Timur Valiev in a bantamweight clash. The highly talented and undefeated Shore (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) is taking on a fighter who has seen similar success under the UFC inValiev (18-2 MMA, 2-0, 1 NC UFC).
While both men are unranked fighters, make no mistake: this is a fight between two athletes who are all but guaranteed to be world-class in the months and years to come. Jack Shore is not an undefeated fighter through good fortune or weighted matchmaking, but due to both technical excellence and a well-rounded arsenal of both offence and defence.
