Cage Warriors standout Mason Jones has his first UFC opponent.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that the two-division Cage Warriors champion will make his UFC debut against Mike Davis (8-2) in a lightweight bout at an upcoming Fight Island event on Jan. 20. The news was first reported by MMA Island.
Jones (10-0) ended his Cage Warriors run with a bang in 2020, winning a pair of championship bouts. In March, the 25-year-old Welshman scored a first-round TKO of Joe McColgan to capture a vacant 155-pound title, then he followed that with a first-round TKO of Adam Proctor to win the European promotion’s vacant 170-pound title.
