Later this month, Russia’s Fight Nights Global visits China for the first time, and two-time UFC veteran Cody East will handle headlining duties.
Fight Nights Global officials formally announced the organization will visit Bozhou, China, on June 30 for “Fight Nights Global: Summer Cup,” where East (13-3) will take on Belarusian heavyweight Alexei Kudin (23-11-1). The card streams in its entirety on Fite.tv.
East is perhaps best known for an unsuccessful UFC stint in 2016 that saw him drop back-to-back TKO results against current heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Walt Harris. Prior to those setbacks, East had reeled off nine consecutive victories, eight of which came by stoppage.
“The Freight Train” has fought once since his release from the UFC, picking up a decision win over Tony Lopez in December 2017. East now makes his Fight Nights Global debut.
Meanwhile, Kudin has been competing professionally since 2002, though his career began in earnest in 2011, when he fought eight times in that calendar year – and going 7-1 in that stretch. Kudin went 2-1 in 2017, picking up wins over Derrick Mehmen and Charles Andrade before suffering a submission loss to five-time UFC veteran Viktor Pesta.
The “Fight Nights Global: Summer Cup” lineup currently includes:
