Ray is on a two-fight skid, having lost via knockout to Paul Felder and via a contentious split-decision to Kajan Johnson. He’ll look to get back to his winning ways against Ayari, but that will be no easy task.
Ayari, 26, entered the UFC on a six-fight winning streak. He’s 1-1 in the UFC with a loss to UFC star, Darren Till.
Arjan Singh Bhullar vs. Marcelo Golm
An Olympic wrestler, Arjan Singh Bhullar (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) faces Brazil’s Marcelo Golm (1-1 UFC).
Singh Bhullar dropped a shocking upset loss to Adam Wieczorek in his last fight, spoiling his undefeated record. He aims to best the prospect, Golm, to get back in the win column.

Golm, 26, had his heavyweight hype train derailed by the gritty Tim Johnson. He’s won all of his victories by stoppage, and he is set on rightening the ship against Singh Bhullar.
Te Edwards vs. Don Madge
Te “Tango” Edwards (6-1) and Don “Magic Man” Madge (7-3) is a sleeper for FOTN. While both fighters will be making their UFC debuts, their records reflect penchants for stoppages.
In fact, neither fight has won a fight with anything other than a finish. Edwards has all knockouts, while Madge has four KOs and three submissions.
Edwards punched his ticket to the UFC on the Contender Series, and Madge came up through South African promotion EFC.
That concludes a Bite-Sized Preview for the Fight Pass Prelim portion of UFC Moncton. This part of the event will air on UFC Fight Pass on October 26.
