Jubli reflected on his emotional journey following his loss to Mike Breeden at UFC 294 in October 2023. While India was gripped by the excitement of the Cricket World Cup, MMA fans had their attention fixed on October 21, anticipating the return of India’s MMA star to the cage. Jubli dominated Breeden for most of the 3-round fight, coming close to securing a win, but in a sudden twist, Breeden landed a decisive strike to knock the Indian out.
The next fight against the Australian debutant Salkilld will provide him a chance to get his UFC career underway and win his first fight Down Under.
