“There are inquiries to fight in other events, boxing, abroad, here in Brazil. There's a lot of things. There is no shortage of options. Everything is real”, assured the former challenger for the under-83,9kg division belt.
Current number four in the middleweight rankings, Borrachinha makes a point of showing respect for the greatness of the UFC as an MMA organization. The fighter then states that a possible exit may not be permanent, but rather temporary.
“The UFC is the biggest event in the world. It doesn't mean I'm going to retire. You can, for example, 'take a break' and make another type of presentation. Today, we see big events paying a lot of money, for boxing, for example”, he concluded.
Featured in the division currently led by Israel adesanya, Borrachinha is looking for an opponent to make his debut in the 2022 season. In the same interview, the Brazilian harshly criticized names in the division such as Sean Strickland e Derek Brunson, who refused commitments against the miner.
