'Bam Bam' had a three-fight winning streak in the organization until he ran into Junior Gypsy, losing to the Brazilian by knockout in the second round. The Australian has a record of 15 wins (14 by knockout) and eight losses, one of them in his last fight against Jairzinho Rozenstruik, that He was fired of the Ultimate after losing to Sergei Pavlovich No. UFC Saudi Arabia.

Alex Poatan in Australia
The Brazilian proved that he has broken the MMA bubble, as he has driven the audience of the Oceanian country wild during his visit there. In one of these moments, recorded on social media, the Brazilian appears to be being welcomed by a crowd of fans on the sidewalk of a shopping mall store. While simulating his traditional walk to the octagon, the light heavyweight champion was greeted by shouts of 'Flame'. The height of the public's explosion was at the moment of the traditional 'arrow throw'.
