After years of carefully selecting fighters, the UFC has finally added Cage Warriors standout, Jordan Vucenic, to its roster. The notoriously competitive process to join the world’s largest MMA organization often requires fighters to go the extra mile, but Vucenic’s talent and persistence paid off.
While the Dana White Contender Series is the most common pathway into the UFC, Vucenic secured his spot through a more unconventional route: a last-minute replacement for an injured fighter. Known to French fans since his 2021 Cage Warriors featherweight championship win over Morgan Charrière, Vucenic boasts an impressive 13-2 record. His upcoming UFC debut against Guram Kutateladze on August 3rd is highly anticipated.
Vucenic’s signing is a testament to his skills and determination, and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the UFC.
