Poster highlights Machida's return (Photo: Reproduction Twitter ufc_brasil)
Ultimate released this Monday, through its social networks, the official poster for the last event it will organize in Brazil this year. O UFC Sao Paulo will take place on October 28th and will feature, in the main fight, a middleweight duel between Lyoto Machida e Derek Brunson. The Brazilian's return, in fact, is the highlight of the poster's art.
Using the colors green and yellow, the UFC put Lyoto in the spotlight, with his arms open, as if celebrating his return to competition, after 18 months of suspension. The former light heavyweight champion unknowingly ingested a substance banned by USADA and, upon filling out a list of what he had taken, he was reprimanded by the agency and suspended for a year and a half. He comes from defeat to Yoel romero, by knockout, in June 2015.
In addition to the duel between Lyoto and Brunson, the poster also highlights the second most important fight of the night. Among the light heavyweights, Glover Teixeira seeks recovery after the knockout suffered by Alexandre Gustafsson, in the face of the dangerous Misha Cirkunov. In addition to these two fights, only one more has already been confirmed. In the flies, two promises face each other: the “God of War” Deiveson Alcântara takes on Jarred Brooks, in a duel that should be part of the preliminary portion of the show.
