In his first fight, which took place in Mumbai on June 29, 2019, he prevailed over Sanjeet Budhwar by decision.

In the UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Spivak finals, he then squared up against Jeka Saragih of Indonesia. Jubli won the bout by TKO submission in the second round and received the UFC contract and Performance of the Night as a result of this victory.
