Jeremiah Wells Set to Open UFC 330 in Philadelphia

Jeremiah Wells is scheduled to start the action at UFC 330 against Myktybek Orolbai on Saturday night at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This event marks a special return for Wells, who has expressed excitement about fighting in his hometown.

Wells, who previously held the CFFC welterweight title, joined the UFC roster in 2020 and began his career with three consecutive stoppage victories. However, he faced challenges with back-to-back losses before bouncing back with a unanimous decision win over Themba Gorimbo in November 2023.

Originally set to fight Nicolas Dalby in May, Wells' bout was canceled due to Dalby's injury. Now, he is ready to face Orolbai, who is known for his aggressive fighting style, promising an entertaining matchup for fans.
