'The Clean Monster' has an unbeaten 11-0 MMA record, with 7 of his wins coming via stoppage. He most recently competed at Titan FC 82 - SBC 47: Revenge, where he earned a fourth-round TKO win over Alex Nicholson to win the Titan FC heavyweight championship.
Collier, on the other hand, will be looking to snap his three-fight losing skid as another loss could put his tenure with the promotion in jeopardy. His losing skid includes losses to Andrei Arlovski, Chris Barnett, and Martin Buday.
The 25-year-old has an opportunity to make a statement should he earn a decisive win as the UFC's heavyweight division that would benefit with younger stars.
