After a frustrating year on the sidelines, Raulian Paiva is anxious to get back to work this weekend. Forced to withdraw from both a May clash with David Dvorak and an October 2020 bout with Amir Albazi, Paiva is scheduled to compete once again at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 27 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “The fight in October (against Albazi) didn’t happen because I tore a knee ligament during training camp,” Paiva explained to MMA Junkie in his native Portuguese.
