Junior Alpha from Bahia, who has a record of six wins and one loss, will have the most important fight of his career again in São Paulo against an athlete from the state. On November 29th, he defeated Douglas Bertazini at Jungle Fight 74 to win the event belt.
In its turn, Daniel sarafian, who has a professional record of eight wins and five losses, needs the victory to stay alive in the UFC. Star of the first edition of TUF Brasil, the São Paulo native was unable to compete in the final of the reality show due to an injury. However, since his Octagon debut in January 2013, he has failed to show his potential. In four appearances in Ultimate, he has a negative record of one triumph and three losses.
UFC Fight Night 58 features as its main attraction the duel between Lyoto Machida, who has his first fight after fighting for the middleweight belt, against CB Dollaway. In another highly anticipated fight, the Potiguar Renan Barao The disputes return, this time without the bantamweight title, against Mitch Gagnon.
