Cage Rage champ signs with UFC

By Jim Murphy September 22nd, 2008

Mustafa Al-Turk, heavyweight champion of the British Cage Rage promotion has signed with the UFC. He’ll make his debut at the next UFC Fight Night event against a very tough opponent in human semi-truck Cain Velasquez:

Al-Turk is expected to make his UFC debut in December at UFC Fight Night 16: UFC Fights for the Troops against undefeated heavyweight up-and-comer Cain Velasquez (4-0).

Following back-to-back losses to begin his career Al-Turk scored four-straight victories before suffering his third professional loss in late-2007. He’s since rebounded with back-to-back stoppage wins over Gary Turner and James McSweeney.

Velasquez is 2-0 inside the octagon with first-round TKO victories over Brad Morris and Jake O’Brien.
