PUBLICITY:

Everything indicates that Paulo Borrachinha is close to returning to the UFC. Recently, the controversial athlete withdrew from the fight against Brunno Hulk , scheduled to take place on March 7th in Las Vegas (USA), days after it was announced, without revealing the reason, and suffered harsh criticism from fans. Having not competed since July, the Brazilian released important information regarding his future.

When asked by a follower if he would face Michael Page in London (ENG) in March, Borrachinha was clear. Frankly, the 'bad boy' ruled out facing the Englishman, not because he's a bad fighter or has a boring style, but because he has a commitment scheduled with the UFC.
