PERTH, Australia – Jamie Mullarkey might be taking on an unbeaten international prospect who never has gone the distance, but he’s not being overlooked.
For Mullarkey, despite mixed results during his UFC tenure so far, it’s quite the opposite. Mullarkey (15-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) is one of the biggest favorites at UFC 284 in his lightweight bout against Francisco Prado (11-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
Prado, from Argentina, has finished 100 percent of his fights since he turned pro in mid-2019. And making things more interesting, he’s got a near-equal amount of submissions and knockouts on his resume.
