The positive surprise was due to Paul felder. After surprising and accepting the challenge of replacing Islam makhachev In the main fight with five days to go, the North American showed a lot of professionalism and did not disappoint. The fighter confirmed 70,6kg. and guaranteed the confrontation against Niteroi.
Another Brazilian representative on the main card, Antonio Arroyo fulfilled his commitment and is ready for the confrontation in UFC Las Vegas 14, weighing 84,1kg. If Tupiniquim played its role, the same cannot be said about its opponent, Erik Anders. The athlete lost almost 1kg. above what is allowed and must pass on a percentage of their purse to their rival.
In the first half of the event, the first Brazilian who will step into the Octagon on Saturday, Geraldo de Freitas, the 'Espartano', stayed within the bantamweight limit (up to 61,2kg.).
