Aaron Aby Vs Victor Nunes
Aaron currently has a professional record of 13-6-1 and looks to have an impact on the world stage. Most recently Aby has competed in Cage Warriors where the Welshman impressed. Despite losing his last two bouts with the promotion he has shown plenty of skills against high-level opposition to qualify himself as a true talent.
Of his 13 wins six have come via way of stoppage. A force on the mat, this is where Aby does most of his damage. Holding five impressive submissions and a lone TKO.
His opponent Victor Nunes comes into the bout boasting an 8-5 record. A UAE Warriors regular, Nunes has competed three times under the banner and gone 2-1. He returns to the cage for the first time since October 2021 and looks to return to winning ways.
