Going into Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 104 opener at the UFC Apex facility vs. Carli Judice (4-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), Yuneisy Duben (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) had plenty to build off of.
As you might recall, last September, Duben became the first prospect in the eight-year history of Contender Series to be awarded a UFC contract from Dana White without even needing to go backstage.
That night last summer, Duben, an underdog according to the oddsmakers, coming in with +900 betting odds, finished off Shannon Clark inside the opening round with an overhanded punch.
