Famous for always wanting to put on a show when he steps into the Octagon, Alex Cowboy is going through a complicated moment within Ultimate. One of the highlights of UFC 272, which takes place this Saturday (5), the Brazilian vented about the pressure of presenting himself under pressure for a positive result. The athlete comes from three stumbles in a row and faces Kevin holland, the company's welterweight debutant (up to 77kg.).

“I need this victory more than ever. I get upset because we lose, but it's part of the game. This victory is very important for my career and for my life”, said Cowboy, in conversation with the press at 'half day'.
In order not to run the risk of being included on the feared Ultimate layoff list, Alex will need to overcome a motivated Holland in a new category. The Brazilian then spoke about his expectations for the confrontation. As usual, Tupiniquim wants to put on a show for the spectators.
“My master told me to go out and fight. It's to show him (Kevin) that the 77kg is 'a piece of cake'. It's harder for him. Let's come out on top. I’m ready”, he assured.
At 34 years old, Alex is heading towards his 37th challenge as a professional in MMA. Today, the fighter has 22 wins, 11 losses, one draw and two 'no result' matches in the sport.
