(Justin Frazier and Jeff Frazier)
Juan Espino has been in the UFC for a couple years now, but thanks to his inactivity, he has flown under the radar of many fans. Espino was on The Ultimate Fighter Season 28 and made his debut in the UFC with a submission finish over Justin Frazier to win his season of TUF.
Espino is a submission specialist with all but one of his wins coming by way of submission and boasting a 90% win finishing rate. Juan Espino has at least six first round finishes and has pulled off some pretty rare/ difficult submissions. Juan won his most recent fight when he submitted his opponent, Jeff Hughes, with a scarf hold choke in the first round of their bout back in September.
Juan Espino will be fighting Alexander Romanov at UFC Vegas 24 in what is sure to be one of the most exciting fights of the night.
How thoughtful of @juan_espino_ofi to get his opponent a scarf for the fall season🧣 #UFC253
