Maddalena (11-2) had a successful UFC debut in January. At UFC 270, he knocked out Pete Rodriguez in less than three minutes. The Australian fighter is riding an 11-fight win streak and has finished all but one of his opponents. Maddalena is already considered one of the most exciting fighters on the roster.
Emeev (20-5) had his two-fight win streak snapped last October when he lost a split decision to Danny Roberts. Prior to losing, the Russian beat David Zawada and Niklas Stolze.
Choi (10-4) was submitted by Alex Caceres in his last outing, snapping his three-fight win streak. The Korean fighter put together three wins after dropping his first two UFC fights. He beat Suman Mokhtarian in 2019 and then Youssef Zalal and Julian Erosa in 2021, receiving a Performance of the Night bonus for his knockout of Erosa. Choi was scheduled to fight Tucker Lutz in March but pulled out with an injury.
Culibao (9-1-1) picked up his first UFC win last May by defeating Shayilan Nuerdanbieke via unanimous decision. “Kuya” fought Charles Jourdain to a draw in 2020, and in his UFC debut, he was knocked out by Jalin Turner.
UFC 275 will take place in Singapore on June 11, 2022 and will feature two title fights.
