Austin Bashi plans on making a “tremendous soiled” UFC debut in 2025.
After making a reputation for himself below the Lights Out Championship banner, the undefeated featherweight out of West Bloomfield Township, Michigan made his large debut on Dana White’s Contender Sequence in September and delivered one other highlight-reel end, placing away Dorian Ramos by way of a second-round rear-naked choke to earn himself a UFC contract.
Now, Bashi will make his promotional debut on January 11 when the UFC returns to The APEX in Las Vegas for a Struggle Evening card headlined by a rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas.
Anticipated to kick off the primary card, Bashi will face the always-tough Christian Rodriguez — an 11-2 fighter who’s already racked up 4 wins contained in the Octagon since making his personal assertion on DWCS in 2021.
Austin Bashi expects a second or third-round end towards Rodriguez
Throughout an interview with MyMMANews, Bashi believes he’ll be capable to run roughshod throughout Rodriguez whether or not their battle stays on the toes or hits the mat.
“I really feel like this an amazing battle, excellent matchup,” Bashi stated. “I can strike with him; I can take him down. I can form of do no matter I would like there. I’m going to make it tremendous soiled and actually drag him into deep rounds. Beat him ultimately second or early third.”
General, Austin Bashi is an ideal 13-0 in MMA with eight profession finishes, together with 5 submissions and three knockouts.
