Years of hard work and consistent performance have brought Chris Gutierrez to the top of the bill in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The 32-year-old Factory X bantamweight will collide with Yadong Song in the UFC Fight Night 233 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where a decisive victory could conceivably propel him into the Top 10 at 135 pounds. Gutierrez has rattled off five wins across his past six outings. The former Sugar Creek Showdown and World Fighting Championships titleholder last appeared at UFC Fight Night 230, where he laid claim to a unanimous decision over Heili Alateng in their three-round encounter on Oct.
