Willing to remain active in the organization, the Niteroi native has not stepped into the octagon since the epic battle against Khamzat Shimaev, in April. On that occasion, the Brazilian, together with the 'Ultimate bogeyman', starred in one of the most exciting clashes in the 2022 season.
Chosen to share the octagon with Gilbert, Neil Magny comes from victory in its recent trajectory. The athlete had already challenged the Niteroi native after beating Daniel Rodriguez, at the beginning of November.
Durinho currently occupies fifth place in the welterweight rankings (up to 77,1kg). The North American, in turn, is in 12th place.
Confirmed for January 21st, the UFC 283 counts on the tetralogy between Deiveson Figueiredo e Brandon Moreno in the main fight. The flyweights will face each other to unify the flyweight title (under 56,7kg).
