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.

The event is currently stacked from top to bottom with veterans, ranked athletes, and young up-and-comers, giving it the potential to be one of the years finest. The full-fight card is as follows:
