Taura MMA signs Daron Cruickshank, Kyle Bochniak for Oct. 30 event

RIZIN lightweight Daron Cruickshank signed a one-fight deal with Brazilian-based Taura MMA to compete at the upcoming event in Kissimmee, Fla., on Oct. 30, sources told MMA Fighting.

UFC veteran Kyle Bochniak inked a three-bout contract with the company and will debut on the same card.

Cruickshank is still under contract with the Japanese promotion, but is unable to enter the country due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Taura MMA has yet to announce an opponent for both fighters.

Bochniak (8-5) put on one of the best fights of the year in 2018, when he went the distance with Russian prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov in the UFC.
