Yahya is on a positive streak with two straight victories over Ray Rodriguez and Kyung Ho Kang. In the organization since 2002, the Brazilian would have a great chance of getting closer to the bantamweight rankings (up to 61,2kg), but he still doesn't project a date for recovery and return to the Octagon. In his career, he has 28 triumphs, ten setbacks, one draw and one unsuccessful fight.
Cody is going through a bad time at the company. Former bantamweight champion, the North American suffered five setbacks in his six most recent appearances, including experience in the flyweight division (up to 56,7kg) against Kai Kara France, in which he ended up being knocked out in the first round. He has a record of 12 positive results and five negative results in MMA.
The card features a fight between Rafael dos Anjos e Raphael Fiziev at the end of the event. In addition to the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg.), Douglas D'Silva e Caio Borralho represent Brazil against Said Nurmagomedov e Armen petrosyanrespectively.
