Filed under: News , UFC RIO DE JANEIRO – UFC light heavyweights Paulo Borrachinha and Oluwale Bamgbose were set to fight only on Saturday, but we got to see a preview when a weigh-in scuffle unfolded the day before. Before UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard got a chance to intervene, Borrachinha (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) managed to get his hand on Bamgbose’s (6-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) face. Unsurprisingly, Bamgbose didn’t see  too thrilled, and the two were physically pulled apart. The two got to settle their differences the day after, in a UFC 212 main-card pay-per-view bout at Rio de Janeiro’s Jeunesse Arena. This conflict, however, elected a clear victor in Brazil’s own Borrachinha. Speaking to reporters backstage after the second-round TKO win , Borrachinha explained his side of the weigh-in incident, and guaranteed that any animosity is now water under the bridge

The rest is here:
