At 41 years old, the former middleweight champion wants to break the uncomfortable streak of almost five years without winning – five fights. Your opponent is the dangerous one Derek Brunson, who won seven of his nine fights in Ultimate, five via the fast track.

In the main fight of the night, Holly holm e Germaine DeRandamie compete for the inaugural women's featherweight belt. Former bantamweight champion, Holm, executioner of Ronda Rousey, could go down in history as the first woman to win two titles in different categories in the UFC, while De Randamie enters the fight aiming to change her status in the organization.
Still on the main card, Ronaldo Jacare, with his eyes on the middleweight belt, returns to the octagon against Tim Boestch, 13th in the rankings. Another important name that will be present at the show is Glover Teixeira, who wants to turn things around after the lightning knockout suffered against Anthony Johnson, in August and 2016. To do so, he will have to overcome the North American Jared Cannonier.
In the preliminary portion, the highlight is Brazilians Roan Jucão Carneiro, who faces Ryan LaFlare, in a duel valid for the welterweight category, and Wilson reis, who measures forces with the Japanese Yuta Sasaki, in the flyweight.
All 24 athletes who make up the event will participate in the official weigh-in this Friday (10). Starting at 21pm (Brasília time), the weights of each fighter will be announced, in addition to the always intriguing official looks before the duel. SUPER FIGHTS broadcasts everything live!
