Now, Cigano is only behind the North American Stipe Miocic (1st) and Cameroonian Francis Ngannou (2nd) on the list of challengers for the belt Daniel Cormier. In turn, after the setback, Lewis dropped from third to fifth place.
Brazil's other victor in the UFC Wichita wasn't as lucky as junior gypsy. Even with his seventh consecutive victory against the tough Curtis Millender, the man from Paraná Elizeu Capoeira remained in 14th position among welterweights (up to 77,1 kg). Still in this division, the North American Anthony Rocco Martin, who defeated Serginho Moraes in the attraction, he took 15th place from Brasiliense Vincent Luque and debuted in the ranking.
