Before he even joined the UFC, middleweight Paulo Borrachinha helped Vitor Belfort prepare for two of his own octagon battles. Now, he wants to meet the veteran inside of it. The problem is that, according to Borrachinha (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), the desire doesn’t seem mutual.

After weigh-in scuffle, UFC 212 winner Paulo Borrachinha is cool with ‘really tough guy’ Bamgbose

BAD MMA News — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 23:55:34 +0000

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

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC ( ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for UFC 212’s losing fighters? ) Max Holloway ’s long climb to the top of the UFC featherweight division reached the summit on Saturday at UFC 212, where the Hawaiian finally claimed the undisputed championship from Jose Aldo. It took a 10-fight UFC winning streak for Holloway (18-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) to earn a fight with Aldo (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC). He took full advantage, rallying from an early deficit to halt the Brazilian by third-round TKO in front of Aldo’s hometown fans at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. “Blessed” exited the event with a title belt, naturally making him the biggest winner of all
