Considered one of the Brazilian promises for the bantamweight category (up to 61,2 kg.), Thomas, 29 years old, resumes his career and seeks to return to the path of victories. The fighter, who arrived undefeated in Ultimate today, has suffered a sequence of three defeats in the last five appearances. His last commitment took place in January 2018, when he lost to Rob font.

Just like the Brazilian, Alejandro is not going through a good time. A UFC athlete since 2014, Pérez is coming off two consecutive defeats. In his last appearance, the Mexican was defeated by song yadong in a first round knockout.

The fighters then stage a recovery match and seek to prove that they still have the capacity to perform at a high level within the category led, today, by Petr yan.

Almeida, today, is out of the category ranking. The São Paulo native has 24 professional fights in MMA, with 21 triumphs and three setbacks

Pérez, 30 years old, has 30 commitments in mixed martial arts. The fighter has 21 positive results, eight setbacks and one draw.
