Former PFL heavyweight tournament winner, Ante Delija has reportedly signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC this week, adding to the promotion’s thin heavyweight roster.
Delija, who most recently fought under the banner of FNC in Slovenia, recorded a first round knockout win over former UFC heavyweight challenger, Yorgan de Castro in his first outing since his departure from the PFL.
Making waves in the Donn-Davis led promotion, Croatian striker, Deljia won the PFL’s heavyweight tournament finale back in 2022, scoring a first round knockout win over Matheus Scheffel in the final bracket in New York.
