Chris Curtis, who is 38 years old, won his last fight against Max Griffin by split decision, thus ending a two-fight losing streak against Brendan Allen and Roman Kopylov. His current record in the UFC stands at 6-4-1, including one no contest.
It is worth noting that Orolbay moved up to welterweight from lightweight, while Curtis is fighting in his second bout in a new weight class after transitioning from middleweight.
