Colby `Slickness` Thicknesse is set to clash with Josias `The K.O. Wizard` Musasa in a bantamweight bout at UFC Fight Night 260, held in Perth, Australia.
Hailing from Windang, New South Wales, Thicknesse (7 wins, 2 KOs) is looking for a rebound after a unanimous decision loss to Aleksandre Topuria earlier this year. Training at Freestyle Fighting Gym, he faces a considerable challenge from Musasa`s striking prowess.
Musasa, representing Lubumbashi, DR Congo, boasts an impressive record of eight wins, with seven coming by knockout. His sole defeat was by submission against Carlos Vera. Thicknesse must be wary of Musasa`s formidable striking power, which has proven devastating for many of his past opponents.
