After winning his first two Octagon appearances, Felder has dropped back-to-back decisions to Edson Barboza and Ross Person, the first losses of his professional career. “The Irish Dragon” is 10-2 overall, including seven triumphs by knockout or technical knockout.
Cruickshank, meanwhile, hasn’t won since a unanimous verdict over Anthony Njokuani at UFC Fight Night “MacDonald vs. Saffiedine” in October 2014. “The Detroit Superstar” has suffered consecutive rear-naked choke defeats to Beniel Dariush and James Krause in his last two outings. The “TUF 15” veteran is 6-5 with one no contest during his Octagon tenure.
