Prior to joining the UFC the native of Morocco had won his last four fights all in the Brave Cage Fighting promotion.
Worthy, aka “The Deathstar,” is 16-6 as an MMA professional. He’s won his last seven fights in a row and the last six with a finish. With a 2-0 mark since joining the UFC, the 33-year-old from Pittsburgh, PA averages 4.44 significant strikes per minute.

Azaitar’s lack of elite competition on his flawless record is the issue here, but he clearly has elite power. And throw out many of Worthy’s early losses as well, as since he’s become a full-time MMA professional he’s a different fighter.
This is a key fight for rosters as the victor is likely to earn a finish, and it could be an early one. If you’re playing multiple entries, being on both sides might be the best play here. Someone is getting a rocket strapped to their career after this one, just be on who that is.
