Jones' recommendation came after Poatan's publications about his training for the clash. Furthermore, Brazilians also revealed your weight and today, it weighs 102,6kg, around 19kg. above the limit established by the middleweight division (up to 83,9kg.).

In the UFC since November 2021, Alex needed just three fights to get his ticket for a title fight, especially for facing Adesanya, his epic rival in kickboxing – as the Brazilian won two fights.

'Bones', in turn, has not fought since February 2020. After relinquishing the light heavyweight title (up to 93kg) that season, the fighter began the preparation process for his debut in the up to 120,2kg category. The athlete, however, does not have a confirmed date or opponent.
