A pair of light heavyweights who both recently suffered stoppage losses will look to rebound at a Fight Night event this October, as Jimmy Crute is set to fight Jamahal Hill.
ESPN first reported the matchup, though the UFC is yet to officially announce the fight. The October 2nd event is expected to be headlined by an important light heavyweight between Thiago Santos and Johnny Walker.
Since he was signed by the promotion after impressing on the Contender Series, Crute (12-2) has gone 4-2 in the UFC. ‘The Brute’ picked up consecutive first round finishes in 2020 against Michal Oleksiejczuk and Modestas Bukauskas.
