Ethyn Ewing will look to hand another undefeated fighter his first professional loss next month.
Ewing is set to face Farid Basharat at a UFC Fight Night event on June 20 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The bout was announced by the promotion on Tuesday.
Building a Reputation
Ewing (10-2) has built a career out of derailing undefeated opponents’ hype train. Ewing is currently undefeated in 10 straight outings since dropping his first two professional fights. “The Professor Finesser” was a massive +550 underdog when he made his UFC debut on 48 hours’ notice against then-unbeaten prospect Malcolm Wellmaker last year. Ewing put on a clinic to earn a massive upset win via unanimous decision. Ewing repeated his success this past April by handing Rafael Estevam his first professional loss in another upset.
Meanwhile, Basharat (15-0) has six UFC wins to his name so far. “Ferocious” will look to maintain his undefeated record when he takes on Ewing in June.
