James Krause is certainly no stranger to jumping on a short notice opportunity and will do so once again this weekend.
Krause steps in on two week’s notice to face Claudio Silva at Saturday’s UFC Fight Island 6 event in Abu Dhabi. In his most recent appearance, the 34-year-old went up a weight class to face Trevin Giles on a day’s notice at UFC 247 and dropped a controversial split decision. Silva’s only loss came in his pro debut in 2007 where he was disqualified for illegal strikes—comparable to Jon Jones’ lone blemish against Matt Hamill.
