UFC on ESPN+ 16: Misha Cirkunov returns against Jim Crute
Canadian Misha Cirkunov (14-5-0) will attempt to return to the win column at Vancouver’s UFC on ESPN+ 16 show against Australian DWCS alum Jim Crute (10-0-0) in September.
Cirkunov, 32, has been finished in three of his last four bouts, including the streaking Johnny Walker in his last bout at UFC 235 in March. A big win against Crute would likely take him much further away from the light heavyweight bubble.
Meanwhile, Crute, 23, keeps chugging along. He scored a first round TKO over Sam Alvey at UFC 234 in February. He’s also looking forward to taking on Chris Weidman should he enter the division.
