"According to reliable information received by the website @mmakultura, Jimmy Crute will do his next match against a fighter from South Korea, Da Un Jung."

"Jimmy Crute is a 25-year-old fighter, who arrived in the UFC in 2018. In the first 5 appearances, he achieved 4 victories and 1 defeat, which was enough to be in the TOP 15 light heavyweights in the world. This was followed by a defeat by Anthony Smith, and in the last match he was defeated by knockout in just 48 seconds, by Yamahal Hill. Currently the 14th light heavyweight challenger, he will have to defend his position against a very talented Korean, Da Un Jung."

"In the last two fights he defeated William Knight and Kennedy Nzechukwu. At the moment, he is perhaps the best fighter in the light heavyweight category outside the TOP 15"

"The date and location are not known yet"


Thoughts on this potential match up?
 
Sounds like a banger to me.
Also a tough fight for both men.

Idk who's gonna win though.

This is a good fight!

I'm kind of sensing Jimmy Crute might end up getting cut from the UFC after another loss or two, and that would be CRAZY.

He's such a talented guy, but he's one of those fighters that they just won't give a step down to.

Da Un Jung is no joke, and even though this fight is a 50-50, Crute could easily lose - that would be a serious piece of mismanagement IMO.
 
I got Da Un Jung. I expect a clear decision win but wouldn't be surprised by an early KO
 
Da Un Jung is for real. I can see him cracking the top 5 soon.

LHWs are not held to the same standards that apply to fighters in other divisions. If Crute loses this fight he may drop out of the rankings but thats the worst case. Crute could probably lose another two fights and remain on the UFC roster.

25 is very young for a LHW and he has been on the UFC roster since he was 22. TPTB seem to believe in his long-term potential despite knowing he is probably too young to be competitive with ranked opponents.
 
I'm still hopeful for Crute. He's young and hasn't crumbled like other young stars even though he's took some bad losses. I also think Jung is a talent. Odds are in Jung's favor but Crute can get the W if he's smart.

I usually back Crute, but I think he might be a bust. Jung, TKO.

Hopefully Da Ung Jung can win. My wish before I pass away is to see a full blooded Korean UFC Champion. :|

I don't like it for Crute's sake. From what we've seen from him as of late, I think he needs to take a year or more off to work on improving. He's a baby age wise (particularly for LHW). He does not need another knockout loss right now, and there's a real threat of that with Jung.
