Dustin Jacoby is eager to share the Octagon with Ion Cutelaba on Saturday night.
Cutelaba was originally set to face Devin Clark but Clark was forced out of the bout. After that happened, the UFC called Jacoby who jumped at the opportunity to face a well-known name in Cutelaba.
“I was getting ready to train at my buddy’s place in Arkansas and got the call for the fight. I told them to let me train as I wanted to see how I felt,” Jacoby said to BJPENN.com. “After the session and the drive to the airport, I called my coach and manager and told them to accept the fight. I’m excited about the opportunity.”

DOMINICK REYES VS. JIRI PROCHAZKA
Light heavyweights in the thick of the title chase clash in the first main event of May, as two-time title challenger Dominick Reyes squares off with surging sophomore Jiri Prochazka.
Reyes entered 2020 with an unbeaten 12-0 record and a date to face Jon Jones for the belt at UFC 247 in Houston, Texas. That night, the California native raced out to a quick start, but faded down the stretch, ultimately landing on the wrong side of a widely debated unanimous decision result.
Crushing it – a phrase that gets tossed around in a lot of different settings. Everyone from accountants to tractor operators have their own version of crushing something. Whether it’s at work or at play, there’s a lot of crushing to be done.
For UFC middleweight Chris Camozzi, work is play, and he’s definitely doing some crushing of his own. As one of the most dedicated fighters in the sport, he was crushing opponents when he won his fight to get onto
The Ultimate Fighter with a broken jaw, he was crushing the timid when he took on Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza twice on short-notice, and he crushed veteran Joe Riggs with a stiff jab and devastating knees in 26 seconds last February to earn a Performance of the Night bonus. That last piece was icing on the cake.
