“I fought on the Contender Series, I lost, but thank God we had a green light from Dana White on the same day. He went there and said: 'I really liked your fight, you're impressive'. He said I'm 'impressive' and that if I win one more fight outside the UFC I'll be back. I went there, fought this fight and won, and we’re back”, celebrated Lucas.
The fighter from São Paulo gave a small 'presentation' of his fighting style and predicted how he will win his fight in the UFC Las Vegas 56.
“I have an aggressive style, I go for it, I don’t come to be tied up. My style is striker. Even if I go to the ground, I'm aggressive too. So, I think my style impressed Dana. I’m sure I’ll knock him out in the first round,” said Lucas.
Former event lightweight champion Jungle Fight and Max Fight, Lucas Almeida will debut in Ultimate against the veteran Mike Trizano, UFC Las Vegas 56, which takes place next Saturday (04). The Brazilian athlete has a record of 13 triumphs and only one setback in professional MMA.
