Exactly a year after his first UFC fight, in the same exact venue he launched his pro career in 2009, Caio Magalhaes will experience a little déjà vu at Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event. But unlike his promotional debut, which resulted in a decision loss to Buddy Roberts , Magalhaes (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) expects few problems with fellow middleweight Karlos Vemola (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in his sophomore effort. “I don’t think Karlos is a complete fighter,” Magalhaes told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “And he lacks the stamina to fight three rounds. My training partner Ronny Markes , when he debuted in the UFC, negated Karlos’ game for three rounds.” Magalhaes, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, expects to do the same when they meet in a Facebook-streamed preliminary-card bout at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The Nova Uniao fighter said he’s picked up enough from Markes and his other teammates that he should have little trouble with Vemola, a former heavyweight and light heavyweight who’s 1-1 since his drop to 185 pounds. “I only train with top talents, big guys like Glover Teixeira , Antonio Silva and Thales Leites ,” Magalhaes said.
