SAO PAULO – Another day, another bonus-winning finish for 25-year-old bantamweight Thomas Almeida . After bouncing back from his sole career setback with a second-round TKO over Albert Morales (6-1-1 MMA, 0-1-1 UFC) at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 100, Almeida (21-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) now holds a 20-finish record – including five post-fight UFC bonuses – that represents his aggressive striking style. Although victorious more often than not, Almeida’s aggression has also been known to land him in some tough spots during fights – more recently, the one that resulted in a quick knockout loss to Cody Garbrandt back in May. Which is why he’s been making some adjustments. “This is a new style,” Almeida told reporters at the post-fight press conference. “I get to be more cautious, not expose myself too much, find the gaps and whenever I feel comfortable, be the Thomas I’ve always been, aggressive and looking for the win at all times.” The bantamweight bout was the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 100 event at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo.
