Krylov vs. Newton
Krylov (21-5) was recently released from the UFC despite having a 6-3 record in the promotion. After a five-fight win/finish streak that saw him stop the likes of Ed Herman and Francimar Barroso, Krylov’s run was halted at the hands of Misha Cirkunov at UFC 206 in Toronto last December.
