Minotouro would face Ilir Latifi at UFC Oklahoma in June this year, but suffered a neck injury and was forced to withdraw from the event, which saw the lightweight lightweight win controversially Kevin Lee about Michael chiesa in the main fight. Before the setback to Bader, Minoto was coming off a stunning victory over Patrick Cummins at UFC 198 in May 2016. Before that, he lost to Mauricio Shogun in a rematch at UFC 190.
Unlike your opponent, Jared Cannonier comes from victory in his most recent fight. The Frenchman beat Nick Roehrick at TUF Finale 25, in July this year. The triumph was a recovery from the setback suffered by the Brazilian Glover Teixeira at UFC 208. “The Killa Gorilla” has a record of 10 wins and two losses, with three triumphs and two setbacks occurring in Ultimate.
