Jimmy Crute is an alum of the 2018 season of the Contender Series where he was able to finish Chris Birchler with punches in the very first round.
Jimmy Crute is a very well-rounded fighter. Crute has big power in his hands and as a result has all five of his KO/TKO stoppages coming in the very first round with punches (even though one was ground n’ pound).
Jimmy also is dangerous on the ground and has some good submission finishes. Crute seems to like the kimura technique, as both of his submission finishes in the UFC were both by kimura against Paul Craig and Michal Oleksiejczuk.
Crute, even though he suffered his first loss in the UFC, has looked absolutely fantastic. Jimmy will be looking to add on to his finish list and make his way toward the middleweight title picture with a win over Anthony Smith at UFC 261.
Jimmy Crute is the real deal!! 😳
