Nicknamed “Tarzan”, the Brazilian has two fights in Ultimate so far and has yet to win, with a draw, in his debut against Serginho Moraes, and a defeat by submission in a balanced duel against Erick silva. Chagas was praised on both occasions, especially in the first fight, when he entered with little time to prepare. At 23 years old, Luan has a professional record with 14 wins, two defeats and one draw.
Judo Jim, as Wallhead is known in England, is much more experienced. With 10 years older than his opponent, the Englishman has 29 wins and 10 losses on his record, and has only one fight in the UFC – defeat to Jessin Ayari, in September 2016. Before signing with Ultimate, he was champion of British event BAMMA and had four wins before the setback that opened his UFC career.
UFC 212 will feature a featherweight title unification duel as its main event. The linear champion José Aldo faces the interim title holder Max Holloway. Anderson Silva, former middleweight champion, is also on the card, still without an opponent. The roosters Marlon moraes e Raphael Assunção face each other, while at strawweight Claudia gadelha welcomes the Polish woman at home Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
