Darrick Minner almost guarantees a pleasurable viewing experience—a trait that has endeared him to promoters for more than a decade.
The well-traveled 32-year-old featherweight will look to even his Ultimate Fighting Championship record at 3-3 when he meets Nuerdanbieke Shayilan in the featured UFC Fight Night 214 prelim on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Minner, who has gone the distance just five times in his 39-fight career, finds himself on the rebound following back-to-back losses. He last competed at UFC 269, where he dropped a unanimous decision to “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 22 winner Ryan Hall in their three-round UFC 269 confrontation.
