PERTH, Australia – Josh Culibao still is early in his fight career, but he might have a future in the analyst game.
Culibao (10-1-1 MMA, 2-1-1 UFC), from Australia, gets a home fight when he takes on Melsik Baghdasaryan (7-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC 284 on Saturday. Culibao has a tough task on his hands if he wants a third straight featherweight win.
But that doesn’t mean he isn’t paying attention to the big title fights at the top of the card – particularly since they impact his division profoundly. Culibao broke down the lightweight title fight between champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski, who is going after a second belt. And he also analyzed the interim featherweight title fight between Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett in the co-main event.
Check out Culibao’s full media day interview and analysis of the two title fights in the video above.
UFC 284 takes place Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
