Jailton Malhadinho back to action in UFC 321. This Saturday (25), in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the Brazilian will face forces with Alexander Volkov, in an extremely important duel in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg). As the winner could be the next challenger for the title in the category, the athlete will also be keeping an eye on the main fight of the event, between the champion Tom aspinall e Cyryl Gane, and has an opinion about it.
In an interview with UFC Brazil, Malhadinho, like any other fan of the sport, gave his prediction for the main event. According to the Brazilian, Aspinall is the favorite not only because he's a high-level and well-rounded fighter, but also because he's hungry for greatness. On the other hand, the Bahia native points out that Gane isn't as committed to MMA as other professionals and, therefore, should come out on top in the duel.

"It's actually going to be a close fight between Aspinall and Gane, but Aspinall is more determined to win. I think Aspinall will win. Gane was very distracted, he didn't know what day he was going to fight, when he was going to fight, and so on. Aspinall, wanting to make history, is more determined, more eager to win. I think Aspinall will win this fight," said the UFC top contender.
