It doesn't get more exciting than this folks! The best of the best in the 205 pound division will meet in the middle of the cage to determine who the baddest man is! Jukola is 7-1 having won his first 5 fights including a fight of the night and a KO of the night award. That streak was stopped by an unfortunate first round submission but Jukola didn't let that get to him as he won his next two fights to be rewarded with this Championship opportunity.
