Lins pulls out, fight scrapped
Cutelaba will no longer fight Philipe Lins at UFC Vegas 80 due to an unspecified medical issue, according to the UFC's official X.com page
ANALYSIS
The broadcast was actually delayed in hopes of salvaging the bout, but Lins was ultimately unable to make the walk due to the issue. Cutelaba was coming into this fight having lost three of his last four contests, but "The Hulk" is always entertaining in and outside of the cage, which will likely ensure that he will remain on the roster going forward.

OSP fight scheduled
Cutelaba will fight Ovince Saint Preux in a light heavyweight bout at UFC Nashville on Aug. 5, according to Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
COVID-19 postponed the first time Cutelaba and Saint Preux were supposed to fight three years ago. Though not against each other, both have fought multiple times since then. Cutelaba has a 2-4-1 record across seven fights since April 2020 and can build a winning streak should he defeat OSP in August.

Snaps three-fight losing streak
Cutelaba defeated Tanner Boser via TKO (punches) at 2:05 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Entering having lost three in a row, all via stoppage, this was undoubtedly a performance that saved Cutelaba's job. He crushed Boser with a sweeping right hand before forcing him to the mat and finishing him off. It was a truly flawless effort from a guy that needed an excellent performance in the worst way. Ion has ridiculous power, as we saw here, and is an excellent wrestler, so it's surprising he went on an extended losing streak. Cutelaba isn't a title contender or anything like that at 205 pounds, and his 6-8-1 UFC record is quite ugly, but he has value in a light heavyweight division that is deceptively thin.
