About to make his UFC debut, in the grand final of TUF Brasil 2, in Fortaleza, the light heavyweight Rafael Feijão is not afraid of the pressure of kicking off the biggest MMA event in the world. Former Strikeforce champion, the Team Nogueira athlete will face his compatriot Thiago Silva.
“I don't have any pressure to be fighting in the UFC, I'm already world champion, no one can take that away from me. I am very prepared and matured inside the Octagon, I have already come from a very big event and have been through many experiences. The level of training is very high, I train with the best in the world”, he guaranteed.
Despite being his first fight in the organization, the native of Cuiabá is already thinking about competing for the category belt, which is currently in the hands of the American Jon Jones.
“The goal is always to fight with those at the top of the category, so that’s my goal. I'm not there to be just another, but to be the best. I hope quickly, in a year, to have the opportunity to fight for the belt”, he concluded.
