Flyweight, Jeff Molina (10-2)

Molina earned a UFC contract off the Contender Series in 2020. Last year in his two UFC fights he put on two wonderful performances. He earned a Fight of the Night bonus in a war against Qileng Aori, and followed that up by finishing Daniel da Silva. Molina has become one of the must-watch flyweights out there. He’s training with Glory MMA and Fitness and they have developed him into such a good fighter.

Lightweight, Guram Kutateladze (12-2)

Kutateladze is one of many fighters from Georgia who is thriving under the spotlight. He had one of the most difficult UFC debuts against KSW legend Mateusz Gamrot and Kutateladze won by split decision. That fight was also the Fight of the Night. That fight happened in 2020 and Kutateladze didn’t fight at all last year. Kutateladze is all power with explosiveness but he’s gonna have to start fighting.
