He’s just a week removed from winning his way into the UFC on season eight of Dana White’s Contender Series, and Mansur Abdul-Malik already has his first fight booked.
Wasting no time, middleweight Abdul-Malik (6-0) will face Dusko Todorovic (12-4) on November 9, 2024 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
News of the booking was announced during Tuesday’s DWCS broadcast, the second episode of the 2024 season.
Ground n’ pound led to a second-round TKO win for Abdul-Malik over Wes Schultz just a week ago. As well as a UFC contract. The 26-year old fighting out of Columbia, Maryland has competed for LFA, XMMA, and Shogun Fights among other promotions previously.
Todorovic, like his opponent, is a Contender Series veteran, in Dusko’s case during the 2019 season. Making his UFC debut in 2020, Todorovic has posted a 3-4 record inside the octagon overall.
No main event has been announced for the UFC’s November 9, 2024 Fight Night event in Las Vegas. The following match-ups have been reported for the card, which is expected to be the final event at the Apex until sometime in 2025:
- Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson
- Cody Garbrandt vs. Miles Johns
- Melissa Mullins vs. Montserrat Rendon
- Tresean Gore vs. Antonio Trócoli
- Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Dusko Todorovic
