Croatia

Struggles in UFC debut

September 28, 2024
Erslan lost to Ion Cutelaba via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Making his UFC debut as a very slight favorite (-120), Esrlan didn't show much. He appeared both hesitant and cautious, which is a major issue against an opponent such as Cutelaba who is known for going full throttle at all times. Ion has major durability issues, but Erslan either wouldn't or couldn't take advantage of the situation. This fight wasn't as close as the "split decision" term would lead you to believe. The soon-to-be 33-year-old Croatian is going to get another shot with the company, but little should be expected considering what we saw this evening.

Erslan is fighting Ion Cutelaba at UFC Paris on Sept. 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Erslan will make his UFC debut in Paris as he is set to take on Ion Cutelaba in a light-heavyweight bout. Erslan heads into the fight with a 14-3-0 overall record but has lost two of his last four fights. On the other hand, Cutelaba is 1-4 since May 2022, so Erslan may be able to make some noise in his UFC debut.
