Chris Curtis
The veteran endured a terrible year in the UFC in 2023, failing to get a win from his two fights. A close defeat to Kelvin Gastelum in April was followed by a No Contest two months later against Nassourdine Imavov after an accidental clash of heads rendered Curtis unable to continue. A pro since 2010, "The Action Man" has thirty wins from just over forty fights.
