Next fight set for October
Culibao will face Charlie Jourdain in a featherweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for October 3 on Fight Island, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Culibao will be making his first appearance since losing to Jalin Turner via TKO back in February -- a fight he took on just a few weeks' notice. He'll look for a better performance with a full fight camp against the 1-2 Jourdain, but it appears he'll have a tough time if the sportsbooks are any indication, as oddsmakers peg Culibao as roughly a (+360) betting underdog entering fight week.

Injury leads to one-sided loss
Culibao lost to Jalin Turner via TKO (punches) at 3:01 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night 168 in Auckland, New Zealand on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Culiabo didn't get much done in this one before what appeared to be a twisted ankle allowed Turner to easily move in for the kill. While it's not fair to judge him on this performance, Ciliabo's shiny 8-0 record coming into this fight didn't necessarily mean much, as he has faced underwhelming competition on the regional scene. We will see if he chooses to move back to his natural weight class (featherweight) if he gets another shot with the organization.

Set for UFC debut
Culibao will make his UFC debut in a featherweight match against Jalin Turner in Auckland on Feb. 22, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Culibao will be a short-notice injury replacement for Jamie Mullarkey, who recently withdrew from his scheduled bout against Turner due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Australian has won all eight of his professional matches to date, five of which came via TKO.
