In a triumphant return after serving a doping suspension, Elizeu Capoeira secured a split decision victory over Abubakar Nurmagomedov No. UFC Las Vegas 74 and proved to be hungry for a fight. Still in the Octagon, the Brazilian used the microphone to challenge the organization's veteran welterweights (up to 77,1kg). In an interview with Evelyn Rodrigues, the fighter explained the reason for having called up Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson.
“I think it’s more of a style clash. Against Gunnar Nelson, he is a good guy and an expert in grappling, he has everything he needs to put on a good fight and deliver a great fight for those who like it and the Neil Magny who is a very versatile guy, we should have fought in the past, so I think now is the time for us to fight,” said Capoeira.
