LAS VEGAS – Ion Cutelaba sees his UFC Fight Night 229 matchup with Philipe Lins as an important step for the stability of his career.
After a career-long three-fight losing skid, Cutelaba (17-8-1 MMA, 6-7-1 UFC) got a crucial win in April when he stopped Tanner Boser by first-round TKO. “The Hulk” hasn’t put together consecutive wins since 2018, but the light heavyweight matchup with Lins (17-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC), which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+, gives him the chance to change that.
The performance against Boser was good building block for Cutelaba, he said, but the next matchup has even more significance in his mind.
