Ivan Erslan got a completely unknown undefeated opponent

Ivan Erslan was quickly brought down to earth, in his second fight in the UFC he got a completely unknown opponent.

Ivan Erslan entered the UFC organization with big aspirations. The former KSW championship belt contender not only wanted to stabilize his position in the best MMA league in the world, but also hoped to enter the rankings quickly.

Unfortunately, losing to Ion Cutelaba in his premiere fight in the octagon caused Erslan to fall out of the orbit of interest of UFC matchmakers for a long time. Now it has finally been announced when Ivan Erslan will enter the cage again.

The Croatian will fight on May 10 at UFC 315 in Montreal. Ivan Erslan will face an opponent whose name really says little to even the most avid MMA fans. Erslan’s rival at the Canadian gala will be undefeated Navajo Stirling.

The Team City Kickboxing representative came to the UFC organization through Dana White’s Contender Series program and has already managed to record a successful debut. The New Zealander defeated Tuco Tokkos after a unanimous decision by the judges.

Ivan Erslan was basically put up against the wall in his second fight in the UFC. A loss to an inexperienced opponent with only six MMA fights to his credit could even mean a dismissal from the UFC for the Croatian.
