Rafael Bipolar is another Brazilian signed by the UFC. Last Tuesday (23), in Las Vegas (USA), the athlete participated in the reality show Contender Series and submitted Jair Mamute in the first round, securing his spot in the largest MMA organization in the world. After the fights, Dana White, president of the company, was impressed with the Brazilian.

In an interview with Laura Sanko at the end of the show, the Brazilian highlighted Bipolar's destructive power in his attacks and his MMA experience. It's worth noting that, despite his youth, the fighter is already a veteran of the sport. Precisely because of these qualities, Dana believes the Brazilian has what it takes to make waves in the UFC, joining the light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) or middleweight (up to 83,9 kg).
