Jordan Vucenic reveals lesson from debut loss: ‘I put the UFC fighters on a pedestal’

LONDON – Jordan Vucenic’s mentality has made a big shift.

Vucenic (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), a former Cage Warriors champion, returns to the octagon this Saturday against Chris Duncan on the main card of UFC Fight Night 255 (ESPN+), which takes place at The O2 in London. This will be his second fight under the promotion, and he now feels up to par with the other fellow UFC fighters, something he didn’t feel debuting on short notice back in August.

“I think I put the UFC fighters on a pedestal,” Vucenic said at Thursday’s UFC Fight Night 255 media day. “I sort of seen them up here, and I realized that it’s not that they’re not up here, it’s I’m not down here, I’m up here with them. I’m just looking to level up all the time and get better and better and better, and yeah, I just can’t wait to show it Saturday night that I’m on that level.”
