Alex Poatan will have no absences in his preparation for UFC Casa Branca , scheduled for June 14. The Brazilian faces Ciryl Gane in the co-main event , in a duel that is worth the interim heavyweight title (up to 120,2 kg). In search of his third belt in the organization, the Pataxó will count on the help of Yousri Belgaroui , who came out unscathed from UFC Seattle , held last Saturday (28).

In an interview given in the octagon to Daniel Cormier , Belgaroui highlighted his desire to return to fighting quickly, but indicated that, before that, his priority will be to join Poatan's training camp as a training partner, adopting a relaxed tone when referring to the Brazilian during the statement.
