Galeto (left) could appear on the UFC card in China
UFC on FUEL 6, an event scheduled to take place on November 10th in Macau, will mark the debut of the largest MMA organization in the world on Chinese territory. The fight program, which already has four Brazilians, could have a fifth representative from the country announced soon.
Besides Paulo thiago, Thiago Silva, John Lineker and Marcelo Guimarães, the former TUF Brasil participant, Wagner Galeto, is in advance negotiations with the event and could be added to the card in the coming days.
According to a report from the North American website Sherdog, Galeto would be negotiating to fight in the bantamweight or flyweight category, which would cause him to drop in weight, since in The Ultimate Fighter, the fighter, who was part of the Wanderlei Silva competed in the featherweight category.
During his time on TUF, Galeto was surpassed by Pepey in the quarterfinals, but due to his performance at home he earned the chance to fight at UFC 147, in June. In the duel before his friend Marcos Vina, he dominated the first two rounds, but ended up surprised and losing by technical knockout.
Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!

Ugh, I even supported the galeto at Tuf Brasil, but I don't think he turned anything around, I was disappointed in all his fights, he runs a lot, he doesn't attack, so much so that there was even an argument in his first fight at Tuf, I think they put in a lot of faith in him because he's a bit thin and muscular, that doesn't mean anything, there aren't many other fighters who deserved opportunities like this, like Leonardo Macaroni, a great fighter, Jhon Macapá is excellent at striking and has good jiu-jitsu, he's one of the best boxers in that he and Hugo wolverine, Thiago bodão, and more, it's the fighters who evolve, now Galeto ran in the first fight and said he would improve bla bla bla... in the other fight vs pepey the same thing only pepey attacked.
