LAS VEGAS – Ode Osbourne feels fortunate to have a UFC flyweight fight on the books, because getting a contract signed often proves to be a challenge. Osbourne (12-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) will look to rebound from a submission loss to Asu Almabaev at UFC on ESPN 50 in August when he takes on Jafel Filho (15-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night on March 16 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The seven-month break between fights isn’t ideal for Osbourne, but he understands it’s a product of the 125-pound weight class having among the least signed fighters of any UFC division, and it hasn’t been the first time he’s dealt with this type of wait. “The ’25 division is the most difficult division to find fights, because there’s no that many of us,” Osbourne told MMA Junkie on the red carpet of the 15th Annual World MMA Awards
