Brazilian Illiarde Santos enters the Octagon, next Wednesday (11), looking for his first victory within the UFC. Even with two consecutive defeats within the organization, the fighter pleased the managers and will have another chance against Chris Cariaso. Facing the North American, Illiarde's coach, Ulysses Pereira, is confident in his pupil's triumph.
“He didn't have much luck in the other fights, especially because of the strong opponents he faced. Chris is also very good, but Iliarde is confident and really wants this first victory in the UFC”, said Ulysses Pereira, Iliarde's coach.
