Jimmy Crute Ruptures ACL, Withdraws From UFC 325 Bout With Dustin Jacoby

The Australian projects a nine- to ten-month recovery that stalls his recent resurgence.

Overview

Crute announced on Instagram that he completely ruptured his ACL and is out of the scheduled matchup with Dustin Jacoby at UFC 325.
The fight had been set to open the main card on Jan. 31 at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena, with the event still headlined by Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes.
Crute said he expects to be sidelined nine to ten months, aligning with the typical nine- to twelve-month timeline for ACL recovery.
Jacoby's participation on the card is undecided, with no confirmation of a short-notice opponent or a new date.
The setback interrupts Crute's 2025 momentum after a 2-0-1 stretch with first-round finishes, and the card now lists 14 bouts according to reports.
