James Te Huna is a mixed martial artist from New Zealand who has fought for promotions such as King of the Cage and the CFC, as a Light Heavyweight.
James signed a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and was set to make his debut at UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez against Igor Pokrajac. In the evening's first fight, the Australian, Te Huna, entered to a raucous welcome in front of an arena filled with his countrymen. While the obvious underdog in the live crowd's eyes, Igor Pokrajac proved a game opponent. Through a back-and-forth set of opening rounds, the pair fought both on their feet and the mat, though that was generally after a powerful Te Huna slam. Such was the case in the final frame, and the Australian took advantage of top position. Attacking as Pokrajac tries to scramble away, a flurry of punches found their mark, and the debuting UFC fighter earned a TKO win with 1:34 remaining in the bout.
