The time is coming! Three days before the long-awaited meeting between Jailton Malhadinho e Derrick Lewis in the main fight of UFC Sao Paulo, the athletes had a tense look during the afternoon of the 'media day'. Big favorite for the confrontation, the Brazilian receives, at the last minute, the North American, after Curtis Blaydes left the event.
Undefeated in the organization, Malhadinho welcomes a former challenger for the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg), in a duel that could bring him closer to fighting the champion. With a favorable record in performances in Brazil, the Bahian is going to his sixth fight in the Ultimate Championship and seeks to continue his streak of triumphing on the fast track. To date, the athlete has never reached the third round.
