Jubli and Quillan Salkilld will battle against each other in the early preliminary fight card. The Australian fighter will make his debut in the UFC and it will be a great opportunity for Jubli to make a remarkable return to the octagon.
“I think he’s a good fighter. He’s a good, complete fighter,” he said.
“But I have more experience. I think my grappling is better. I have good hands. My hands, my boxing, is better, so I can dominate him in these areas where I’m good, and where he is good, I’ll not let him do his things.” Jubli added.
The 28-year-old fighter gave him a technical edge in the bout as he is more experienced than Salkilld and is better on feet and ground. Jubli is 7-1 in his professional career and if he loses again in the UFC his contract will be at stake.
