Rustam Khabilov vs Jorge Masvidal slated for November
November is set to be uncharacteristically hot with the announcement of “Gambred” taking on “The Tiger.”
Rustam Khabilov vs Jorge Masvidal slated for November
The announcement was made on UFC Tonight earlier this evening.
Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal (25-7) has come a long way since his days fighting for respect in back yards. The surging lightweight, whose only loss in his past 6 fights is to the top-ranked Gilbert Melendez, has been on a tear since entering the UFC as part of the Strikeforce merger. With wins over Tim Means and Michael Chiesa in his stint in the cage so far, Masvidal will be looking to add the Russian samboist to his list of victims. Will he be able to strike his way to victory against “The Tiger”?
Rustam “The Tiger” Khabilov (16-1) is fast becoming known as the UFC’s “Human Suplex Machine.” With an array of jaw-dropping grand-amplitude throws, “The Tiger” has had memorable finishes in both his UFC fights to date, whether dumping Vinc Pichel on his head or tossing Yancy Medeiros in such a bad way that the latter broke his thumb. The Russian sambo practitioner will be looking to close the distance and sink his claws into the rangy striker. Will he able to put “Gamebred” over his head and out cold?
No official date has been scheduled for these two to clash as of press time. The pair are expected to be placed on a UFC Fight Night on Fox Sports 1 card.
