Heavyweight (265lbs): Making UFC Debut on July 25th

Jake Collier made his debut in the UFC at middleweight back in 2014. Collier stands at 6’3″ tall and possesses a 78.5″ reach. After a 4 fight stint at 185lbs resulting in a .500 win rate, Collier decided to try his luck at the next weight up.

A huge jump of 20lbs, to the light heavyweight division. In April on 2017, Jake had his first fight at 205lbs losing to Devin Clark by unanimous decision. in November of the same year ‘The Prototype’ defeated Marcel Fortuna in a unanimous decision. That was the last time fans have seen Jake inside the cage as injuries, a USADA violation and the ongoing pandemic have kept him out of the cage for almost 3 years. At UFC Fight Island 3 Collier will welcome Tom Aspinall to the UFC at his new weight class of heavyweight.
