Likely landing themselves Fight of the Night honors in their preliminary card matchup tonight, Mateusz Rebecki did just enough to convince the judges of a victory in Abu Dhabi at UFC 308, turning in a split decision win over Kyrgyzstan native, Myktybek Orolbai over the course of three rounds.
Rebecki, a former FEN gold holder, has enjoyed an impressive tenure inside the Octagon since his move to the promotion, racking up wins over Nick Fiore, Loik Radzhaboev, and Roosevelt Roberts to go with this evening’s win against Orolbai.
As for the highly-touted, Orolbai the lightweight prospect had landed two straight victories over both Uros Medic and Elvis Brenner before tonight’s split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) loss against Rebecki.
