Kyrgyz fighter Myktybek Oralbay, who has a record of 4-1 in the UFC, is preparing for a bout against Chris Curtis. In his recent fights, Oralbay achieved two early victories: he finished Tofik Musaev with submissions and knocked out Jack Hermansson. However, he also has his first loss in the UFC, when he lost to Mateusz Rebecki by split decision.

Chris Curtis, who is 38 years old, won his last fight against Max Griffin by split decision, thus ending a two-fight losing streak he suffered against Brendan Allen and Roman Kopylov. His record in the UFC stands at 6-4-1, with one of his fights being ruled a no contest.

It is important to note that Oralbay moved up to welterweight from the lightweight division, while Curtis is also fighting in his second bout in the new weight class after moving up from middleweight.
