Jules Okafor

Events Writer

Jules covers fight night from the first prelim to the last post-fight presser, plus the PFL, ONE and the Contender Series kids who'll be headlining in three years. If a prospect is about to pop, Jules wrote about them first.

Into: prelim bangers, UFC debuts, Contender Series, fighters from small gyms, a perfectly timed stoppage. Not into: early stoppages, late stoppages, main events that go five rounds of nothing, fighters who don't touch gloves.
