Weekend Preview | Factory X At UFC Fight Night | Sparta Wyoming IV & New Matchup Announcements - a podcast by Colorado MMA News

Happy Friday Colorado MMA Fans, this weekend is an active one for Colorado fighters in the UFC as two Factory X athletes head to the Apex Center in Las Vegas for another UFC Fight Night.   

Coming off of an impressive unanimous decision victory on the Dana White Contender Series back in August, Dustin Jacoby of Factory X will start his climb up the UFC light heavyweight division on Saturday night when he takes on Justin Ledet in a meeting at 205 lbs.   

Jacoby is a Glory Kickboxing veteran and will bring his well rounded game and sharp standup to the UFC light heavy weight division at a time when the divisions’ championship title seems more attainable than ever.   

Joining his Factory X teammate on the card will be Alexander Hernandez (11-3) who will compete for the first time with Factory X in his corner when he takes on fellow UFC lightweight, Chris Gruetzemacher (14-3) in a battle at 155 lbs. 
Hernandez is 3-2 overall in the UFC and is a powerful, athletic young fighter with a grappling background that has been sharpening his hands and footwork under the tutelage of Marc Montoya.  Look for a further refined skill set from Hernandez on Saturday night and tune into ESPN + to watch the both of these fighters throw down live, with bouts starting at a 2:00 pm MST.
