Jim Crute

Jim Crute and Sam Alvey will kick off the main card tonight (Sat., February 9, 2019) at UFC 234 from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Stay posted on Lowkickmma as we will have ongoing results from the Land Down Under.

Australia’s own Crute will make the walk to the Octagon for just the second time in his young career on Saturday night. At 22 years old, “The Brute” could have a say in the future light heavyweight title picture.

As for “Smilin” Sam, he is coming off a loss in September but the longtime UFC veteran didn’t fly halfway around the world for nothing. The 32-year-old Wisconsin native will look to play spoiler in front of a partisan sold out crown.
