Without acting since December 2020, when he lost to Cyryl Gane in his last fight for the UFC, junior gypsy works to confront yorgan de castro at the event of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Eagle FC. However, the Brazilian remains attentive to the possibilities of testing himself in boxing and is willing to measure his strength against Tyson Fury in mixed rules.

“It's hard to say, of course, that he's great in boxing, but I don't think he would do very well in MMA. I challenge you to come to Triad (Combat) or Triller, to do our style of fighting which is boxing with clinches. That's something different about what he does. I think it would be better for him”, said Cigano in an interview with 'Sunport'.
Cigano then justified the fear of seeing Fury in MMA. According to the former UFC heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg), the boxer never trained on the ground game and, therefore, would have no chance against big names in the organization.
"If he (Tyson Fury) goes straight to MMA he doesn't have many chances, because he doesn't know any ground game or grappling, so it would be very difficult for him to be successful. But in the Triad he has a chance because most of the fight is boxing. As a boxing fan I admire him and I think he is a great champion”, he concluded.
Tyson Fury has been promoted to make great fights in the 'noble art' against Ultimate athletes. Francis Ngannou, who is the current champion at 120,2kg., is in trouble with the organization and has already demonstrated that he may give up his belt in the future to be allowed to fight.
