You may not know it, but one of the fights on Brave 10 is the stuff legends are made of. It’s the kind of fight where five years from now, we will all be able to tell our friends ‘I saw him fight in Jordan before he was a superstar!.
You may not know it… but Dylan Tuke vs Sodiq Yusuff is the absolute crème de la crème at featherweight. It might sound strange for fighters with a combined record of 9-2, but if you have been following your non-UFC mma in recent years you will be more than familiar with these two.

Dylan Tuke is one of the very hottest prospects out of SBG Ireland, the team that can has amongst other Conor McGregor, Artem Lobov and Gunnar Nelson in its ranks. At only 21 years, the former bantamweight has impressed his peers to such an extent in his early career that there were even talks of him going into the UFC at just 2-0. Although his grappling game is arguably what got him recognized his striking has come along tremendously!

Facing the Tuke is a man who is no stranger to working hard to realize his dreams. Sodiq Yusuff, the son of Nigerian parents who emigrated to the USA when he was 9 years old, never had things the easy way. Sodiq, who barely had the grade to make the wrestling team in his high school, would take ride the bus for multiple hours each day only to make it to training with the famous Lloyd Irvin BJJ and MMA school in Maryland. Similar to the Tuke, Yusuff made a stellar start to his UFC career going 5-0 as an amateur before losing his last bout in a fight that was widely believed to be his last step before getting into the UFC (if you saw his team mate James Vick beat Joe Duffy recently he asked Dana to sign Sodiq to the promotion).
This probably is not the last time these two fighters face off in their careers. Both fighers are known for their exciting, finishing style. Both fighters are extremely well rounded and both have been tipped for huge careers in MMA. We are lucky to have them fight in our front yard here in the Middle East.
