After delivering one of 2020’s top knockouts — and the first of his career — Jordan Leavitt isn’t feeling any pressure to outdo himself in his sophomore UFC appearance.
Leavitt will face Claudio Puelles in a lightweight matchup this Saturday at UFC Vegas 28, which will take place at the UFC APEX and stream on ESPN+. “The Monkey King” had a busy 2020. He competed four times and picked up three finishes for LFA, earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in August. His viral 22-second slam KO of Matt Wiman at December’s UFC Vegas 18 event marked his promotional debut.
