The Brazilian Rafaello Tractor will have to change his plans for his next fight in his career. Initially selected for Colosseo Championship Fighting 6 – Bushido, the tough guy was called up today (19) to replace the injured Bart Palaszewski in the clash against his compatriot Gleison Tibau at UFC 130.
Tractor returns to Ultimate just over a year after his resignation from the event in April last year. Since then, the athlete has accumulated four consecutive victories in three different organizations. In his most recent fight, Trator knocked out American Ryan Bixler at Recife Fighting Championship 4, which took place this March in the capital of Pernambuco.
In turn, Tibau won three of his last four fights in the UFC. The tough guy is coming off a victory over the North American Kurt Pellegrino by split decision of the judges in the 128th edition of the organization, held in March this year in the United States.
UFC 130 will be held on the 28th in Las Vegas and will feature a light heavyweight clash as its main attraction. Matt Hammil e Quinton “Rampage”Jackson. In addition to Trator and Tibau, this edition will also feature three other Brazilians in action. Check out the full UFC 130 card below:
