Undefeated prospect Jack Shore draws Hunter Azure at UFC Fight Night 188
Undefeated Welsh prospect Jack “Tank” Shore will make his highly-anticipated return to the Octagon on April 10, when he meets dangerous wrestler Hunter Azure, the UFC has confirmed.
The promotion confirmed the news on their official European Twitter account.
Boasting a perfect 2-0 record in the UFC, Jack Shore (13-0) has settled nicely into his new home, finishing both Nohelin Hernandez and Aaron Phillips by rear-naked choke. Following his most recent performance, it was evident that a step-up in competition would be needed, and who better to test his skills than Hunter Azure.
A competitor at both featherweight and bantamweight, America’s Hunter Azure (9-1) bounced back big towards the latter end of 2020, defeating Cole Smith via unanimous decision. This win shifted Azure back in the win column following the first defeat of his professional career. The 29-year-old will be seeking his third UFC victory on April 10.
As it stands, UFC Fight Night 118 will be headlined by top-ranked middleweight Darren Till, who looks to build his case for a title shot when he faces Marvin Vettori.
