PUBLICITY:

With two wins and one loss, Cesar Almeida goes into his fourth UFC fight against the Ghanaian Abdul Razak Alhassan, competing in the middleweight category (up to 83,9 kg). Half of the victories that the Brazilian achieved in MMA, six in total, happened in the first round. Almeida has one defeat in his career, which happened precisely in the Ultimate against the Russian Roman Kopylov.

However, the Brazilian's opponent is dangerous. Alhassan has 12 victories in MMA, all by knockout and 11 of them in the first round. Despite being used to 'running over' his opponents, Cesar Almeida appears as the favorite in the bookmakers, paying R$1,37 against R$3,10 for the Ghanaian fighter.
