Besouro was forced to leave TUF, but was officially hired by the UFC
This Saturday night held different feelings for the welterweight Luiz Besouro. Considered one of the favorites to win TUF Brasil 2, he was injured during the program and ended up watching Leo Santos win the tournament. But, at the post-TUF Brasil 2 Finale press conference, Besouro was announced as the winner of the bonus for best finish of the reality show season. And this was not the only good news received on Saturday night.
UFC vice-president of international relations Marshall Zelaznik informed that the Rio native will also have the chance to officially fight in the UFC (the fights in TUF are not used for cartel): Besouro is under contract with the organization.
Besouro has already recovered from the injury that took him out of TUF Brasil 2, but he still doesn't have a date for his UFC debut. Beyond, Santiago Ponzinibbio e Leo Santos earned bonuses for the season. The Argentine won the best knockout (over Marcio Pedra) and shared with Leo the best fight, in the last semifinal of the program.
