A new heavyweight bout has been set for UFC Fight Night Columbus, as Jeff Hughes will take on Carlos Felipe at the event.
Hughes is hoping to finally get his first win under the UFC banner, as the heavyweight lost his fights against Maurice Greene and Raphael Pessoa. His fight against Todd Duffee at UFC Fight Night Vancouver ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke. Hughes’ professional mixed martial arts record stands at 10 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no contest.
Felipe enters the bout with strong momentum, as the heavyweight is currently undefeated. The Brazil native will be making his UFC debut here, with the fighter previously competing in Qualify Combat and Velame Fight Combat. Felipe’s professional record stands at 8 wins and no losses.
UFC Fight Night Columbus takes place on Saturday, March 28 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio with Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik headlining.
