Jared Gooden
Jared Gooden is just at his prime age as an athlete at 27 years old. He hails from Atlanta, Georgia in the USA and has been training at the X3 Sports Fight Team for most of his career as a welterweight fighter. Gooden stands at six-foot-four and carries an interesting ring name as the “Nite Train”. His professional fighting record is now at 17-5 and those victories are divided into seven knockouts, six submissions, and four decisions. His debut fight in the UFC was his most recent match. Things did not fall on his side as he got beaten by Alan Jouban in UFC 255 back in November 2020. The fight reached three rounds as the judges all favored Jouban to win.
Abubaker Nurmagomedov
Abubakar Nurmagomedov is now 31 years old and his hometown is located at Makhachkala, Dagestan in Russia. This welterweight has been training at the Fightspirit team for most of his MMA career. Nurmagomedov is coming into this matchup against Jared Gooden with a 15-3 professional MMA record. Those victories are almost evenly distributed with six knockouts, five decisions, and four submissions. Like his opponent, Nurmagomedov lost his debut fight in the UFC which was his last match as well. That happened in UFC Fight Night 163 way back in November 2019. That match ended early as Nurmagomedov was caught by David Zawada via triangle choke in the first round.
