Two days before UFC Winnipeg this Saturday (16), the Brazilian Rafael Dos Anjos came face to face for the first time with his opponent, Robbie Lawler. The two former champions are in the main fight of the event and had a calm confrontation, despite having avoided any kind of greeting. RDA, former owner of the lightweight belt, seeks a chance against the welterweight champion Tyron woodley. Lawler, in turn, wants to avenge the loss he suffered to “T-Wood” himself at UFC 201 in 2016.

Still on the main card, the duel between Mike Perry e Santiago Ponzinibbio promises to catch fire. And, if it depends on the American Perry, the two could even fight in the pre-event confrontation. “Platinum” arrived to face the Argentinean very angry and harassed, with lots of swearing and provocation. The “Good People” avoided getting into his opponent's rhythm and just smiled ironically, irritating Perry even more. At the end of the face-off, Ponzinibbio rehearsed the pose from the movie “The Karate Kid”. The American made the gesture of cutting his throat several times, indicating that he wants to knock out the Argentine.
In the other two fights in the main portion of the Canadian event, the four athletes were polite and there was no type of provocation. Ricardo Lamas, who faces Josh Emmett, made a point of greeting his opponent and the two exchanged smiles. Glover Teixeira, which will take Misha Cirkunov in light heavyweight, he also showed calm when facing his opponent and the two exchanged handshakes and hugs.
