SALT LAKE CITY – Does Trevin Giles have a sign on his back that says “WILL ONLY FIGHT PROSPECTS”?
He must wonder that sometimes. Giles played host to Roman Dolidze’s third UFC fight. He was the opponent for Dricus du Plessis’ second bout in the promotion. He’s been an early opponent in the UFC tenures of a lot of up-and-comers lately.
Saturday, it happens again when Giles (16-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) takes on unbeaten welterweight prospect Gabriel Bonfim (14-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) to close out the UFC 291 prelims on ABC and ESPN at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Their fight leads into the main card on pay-per-view.
