Wint will be stepping into the Octagon for his UFC debut with a perfect 7-0 record and five wins by way of knockout . Chatman, meanwhile, is 5-1 with four wins by knockout, so fans can expect a slugfest.
Wint makes his UFC debut just over one week since a 34-second knockout win over Matt Adams at Dana White’s Contender Series 87. The win was enough to impress the UFC boss and earn a contract. Now, the former Fury FC Heavyweight Champion will be taking his talents to the big show.
To make Wint’s UFC debut even more special, he will be wearing a special UFC Debut Patch on his fight gear that will “later be removed and placed into an official 1/1 UFC Debut Patch trading card ” for Topps.
Before turning to MMA, Wint was a three-time second-team All C-USA standout for FIU, before joining the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2018. Now, he’s ready for his MMA career to take off.
