Flashes of brilliance interspersed with ill-timed inconsistency have marked Sodiq Yusuff’s stay in the Ultimate Fighting Championship thus far.
The 31-year-old Team Lloyd Irvin rep will toe the line against Mairon Santos in a UFC Fight Night 256 featherweight showcase on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Yusuff holds a 6-3 record across his nine appearances inside the Octagon but finds himself reeling after back-to-back losses. He last saw action at UFC 300, where he succumbed to punches from Diego Lopes just 89 seconds into their April 13, 2024 encounter.
