UFC Vegas 36 will take place this weekend with an all-important middleweight clash between Darren Till and Derek Brunson serving as the headliner. Apart from the main event, there are some clashes that could keep fight fans hinged on their seats. One of those clashes is between bantamweights Jack Shore and Liudvik Sholinian.

Out of those 14 wins, 4 have come via KO/TKO, 8 via submissions, and 2 via decisions.

Out of his 9 wins, 1 has come via KO/TKO, 3 via submissions, and 5 via decisions. He will look to make a mark in his debut against an opponent who hasn’t yet faced a defeat.
