Caio Borralho analyzed the confrontation between Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy , his former training partner, which takes place next Saturday (19), in Los Angeles, United States, for the co-main event of UFC 331. The Brazilian middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) pointed out an aspect of the Armenian's behavior that could be decisive for the outcome of the duel.

In an interview with Laerte Viana's YouTube channel, available last Wednesday (16), Borralho assessed Tsarukyan's posture inside the octagon and highlighted how the athlete's emotional side can become an opportunity for Ruffy. The duel is of great importance in the progress of the lightweight category (up to 70,3 kg), with the potential to define the next challenger in the category.

"Arman's inactivity, you even look at some of his fights, Arman is an emotional guy, with a very strong ego, he's quite similar to Chimaev in this emotional aspect. I see that Arman isn't going to be stupid, he knows how to win fights, but I see that this emotion gets to him a little, so if he gets a little emotional, he'll die," said Caio Borralho.
