Former challenger for the middleweight belt (up to 83,9kg), Borrachinha is trying to get closer to a title fight. The athlete, however, needs to overcome the downtime and pass a reference in the history of the category.

Former group champion, Whittaker is also committed to winning. In his last commitment, the Australian ended up being heavily beaten by Dricus Du Plessis, who last weekend took over the division belt.
