Leo Kuntz will make his initial UFC foray when he meets Yosdenis Cedeno at UFC Fight Night in Atlantic City, N.J.
A native of Linton, N.D., Kuntz has lost just once in 19 professional outings. He briefly appeared on “The Ultimate Fighter 16,” falling to Sam Alvey in a preliminary contest. “The Lion” has finished 12 of his 17 triumphs by knockout or submission.
Cedeno, meanwhile, had a six-fight winning streak snapped by Ernest Chavez in his promotional debut at UFC 170. The 29-year-old Cuban is a former Championship Fighting Alliance titlist who owns six of his 9 career triumphs by way of knockout or technical knockout.
