Wint might be getting into the Octagon for his UFC debut with a perfect 7-0 record and five wins by way of knockout. Chatman, in the meantime, is 5-1 with 4 wins by knockout, so followers can anticipate a slugfest.

To make Wint’s UFC debut much more particular, he might be sporting a particular UFC Debut Patch on his struggle gear that can “later be eliminated and placed into an official 1/1 UFC Debut Patch trading card” for Topps.
