In the main fight, Felipe Gheno will defend the flyweight belt (up to 57kg), against Bruno 'Korea', who has a stint in Ultimate.
The penultimate clash of the night will see the bantamweight champion (up to 61kg), Douglas Felipe, the 'He-Man', against Ary Farias.
Among the women, Yasmin Castanho will place the strawweight leader position (up to 52kg) up for grabs against Bruna Vargas. To conclude the title fights, Isaac Moura will do battle against Gian Sarturi to guarantee his hegemony among the featherweight divisions (up to 66kg).
Former UFC in the area
The October event will mark the debut of two athletes known to the Brazilian public in the organization. Rousimar Palhares, 'Toquinho', will face Sean Loeffler in one of the most anticipated fights of the show.
'Toquinho' spent time in Ultimate between 2008 and 2013. His last professional fight in MMA took place in December 2018, when he lost to Georgy Kichigin, for RCC (Russian Cagefighting Championship).
To close the attraction, the charismatic Serginho Moraes returns to MMA on the same card. Disconnected from Ultimate last year, the Brazilian returns to compete and seeks to end a streak of three consecutive defeats. The athlete will have his opponent announced soon.
