Main Card
Jake Hadley
Jake Hadley (9-1, 1-1 UFC) made it to the UFC when he defeated Mitch Raposo via two-round submission in Week 7 of the 2021 Dana White Contender Series. However, he fell to Allan Nascimento in his octagon debut in May 2022. He was given another crack six months later and he delivered. He forced Carlos Candelario to tap out in two rounds via triangle choke. Hadley is a submission specialist with five of his wins coming by this route. The Englishman has landed 4.02 strikes per minute at a 48% accuracy rate. He has allowed 3.54 strikes per minute and defended 61% of the attempts against him. Grappling wise, Hadley has averaged 0.49 takedowns per 15 minutes and his takedown defense is 37%.
Malcolm Gordon
Malcom Gordon (14-6, 2-3 UFC) has fought five times in the UFC and was able to win two fights. However, in his last fight against Muhammad Mokaev, Gordon fell prey to an armbar submission attempt that he could not able to get out. The Canadian lost his third UFC bout – and six overall. He could not afford to lose another one especially now that the crowd is cheering for the hometown bet Hadley. The 32-year-old has stopped 11 foes (five knockouts and six submissions) and he should win convincingly against Hadley to gain more lucrative matches in the future. Gordon has been able to land 1.9 significant strikes per minute and averaged 1.66 takedowns per 15 minutes.
