Azat Maksum and Mitch Raposo are set to face each other at UFC 321 in the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. They will fight as part of the undercard event in the flyweight division, leading up to the main event featuring Tom Aspinall against Ciryl Gane.
Maksum, from Kazakhstan, turned pro with a strong start and now has 15 wins and 2 losses. His recent fight ended in a unanimous decision loss against Tagir Ulanbekov. With his experience facing tough opponents like Ulanbekov, Maksum prepares to confront Raposo with caution given the latter's knack for KO victories.
Raposo, representing the United States, sports a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. He also stepped up with serious contenders such as Su Mudaerji in his current form. While having been tested hard previously by fighters known for striking power, Raposo’s readiness might provide toughness in this match-up.
