Unlike football, in MMA, the Brazil x Argentina rivalry is not as intense, with many athletes from the neighboring country even moving to Brazilian gyms. Despite this, a “South American classic” will move the UFC 191 card, which will feature a duel between the semifinalists of TUF Brasil 4 Nazareno Malegarie e Joaquim “Netto BJJ".

Malegarie and BJJ, defeated respectively by Fernando Butcher e Glaico France in the duels that would define the finalists of the reality show in the lightweight category, they will face each other on September 5th, in an event scheduled for the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (USA). The information was released on the website of the “Combate” channel.

At 29, Nazareno Malegarie has a record of 18 wins and just three defeats. As TUF fights, with the exception of the grand final, do not count towards the athletes' professional record, “El Tigre”, as he is known, comes from six consecutive victories, five of them by submission or knockout.

Already “Netto BJJ” está invicto no MMA com sete lutas e sete vitórias. O atleta da “Evolução Thai” conquistou todos os seus triunfos por nocaute ou finalização e tem uma curiosidade em seu retrospecto: jamais fez duas lutas pelo mesmo evento, tendo atuado por sete organizações diferentes até aqui.
