Welcome to the UFC: Spitz, Calvillo, & Soukhamthath

The UFC’s recent roster purge doesn’t mean the promotion isn’t still awash in new talent, and continually bringing in more. They may have released a whole slew of fighters lately, but for every one that’s gone there seems to be a new face to take their place. This week, at UFC 209 in Las Vegas Nevada, three new faces will step into the Octagon for the first time. Heavyweight Daniel Spitz replaces Todd Duffee against Mark Godbeer to open the FS1 prelims, women’s strawweight Cynthia Calvillo will make her debut against Amanda Cooper, and bantamweight Andre Soukhamthath will open the card against Albert Morales.
