Ion Cutelaba and Ivan Erslan will face off at UFC Fight Night 243 in the Light Heavyweight division. The event takes place at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, as part of the undercard fight leading up to the main event between Renato Carneiro and Benoit St Denis.
Cutelaba comes from a loss against Philipe Lins by unanimous decision in March 2024, showing resilience but ultimately failing to secure a win. Erslan entered this match on a high note with a knockout victory over Bogdan Gnidko in his last bout on February 2024. Despite Erslan's recent win through sheer force, Cutelaba’s experience against high-caliber opponents might bring a strategic edge to the fight that could be difficult for Erslan to overcome.
