Jared Gordon as Mashrabjon Ruziboev. Forecast for the fight

Current form

Jared Gordon became the Cage Fury Fighting Championships champion in 2016, made a successful defense and signed a contract with the Dana White League. But he's not very good at fighting at the top level. The American lost in the last two out of three matches. In the previous one, in June 2024, he lost to Nasrat Hakparast (split decision of the judges) Morocco, as well as the Englishman Paddy Pimblett (unanimous). And the fight with American Bobby Green ended in a draw. The 36-year-old Gordon has 20 wins (seven by knockout, 11 by decision, two by submission) and seven defeats. Jared holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Current form

Mashrabjon Ruziboev only learned a few days ago about the invitation to the strongest mixed martial arts championship on the planet. Due to visa issues, Caue Fernandez will not be able to fight with Gordon. The eliminated fighter will be replaced by the UFC debutant, who is currently on a seven-game winning streak, with six of them coming in the first round. The fighter from Central Asia has had his last two fights in the Russian Open Fighting Championship promotion. In the previous one, in October 2023, he defeated Nurzhigit Karaev (technical knockout, first round) from Kyrgyzstan, and before that defeated Brazilian Neriz de Oliveira (technical knockout, first round). The 28-year-old Ruziboev has 19 wins (11 by knockout, three by decision, five by submission) and four defeats.
