Jessica Andrade’s upcoming match against Yan Xiaonan was recently announced, and BJJ phenom Kron Gracie will be making his comeback to the UFC after over three years away from the octagon, facing Charles Jourdain in May.
Gracie has won post-fight bonuses in both of his UFC fights, and he will be aiming for a third bonus in his upcoming match.
Additionally, Bryce Mitchell, a featherweight contender, was scheduled to face Jonathan Pearce in the feature bout of UFC 288’s main card but that fight has been canceled.
After his brutal defeat in his previous match against Ilia Topuria, Mitchell will undoubtedly be looking to make a statement with a victory against Pearce.
