Next week’s UFC Fight Night 110 event has two new matchups and an official fight card.
They include a main-card bout of light heavyweights Ion Cutelaba (12-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) vs. Henrique da Silva (12-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), as well as lightweights ”Maestro” Dong Hyun Kim (14-8 MMA, 1-2 UFC) vs. Thibault Gouti (11-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on the prelims.
UFC Fight Night 110 takes place June 11 (but airs live in the U.S. on June 10 due to time difference) at Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. It airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass
Cutelaba, a 23-year-old Romanian-Moldovan fighter, joined the UFC in 2016 and is 1-2 with a victory over Jonathan Wilson and defeats to Misha Cirkunov and Jared Cannonier. The sambo and judo specialist meets da Silva, who opened his UFC career with back-to-back wins over Joachim Christensen and Wilson to move to 12-0 overall. However, the 27-year-old Brazilian has since suffered back-to-back defeats to Paul Craig and Jordan Johnson.
Kim, a 28-year-old Korean fighter, lost his first two UFC fights, both via knockout, to Dominique Steele and Marco Polo Reyes. However, he recently rebounded with a decision victory over Brendan O’Reilly. He now meets Gouti, a 30-year-old French fighter who’s in a must-win situation after losing his first three UFC fights – all via stoppage – to Teemu Packalen, Oivier Aubin-Mercier and Chad Laprise.
