Watch the UFC Charlotte weigh-in, with Jacaré and three other Brazilians

Not long until the UFC Charlotte, an event that takes place this Saturday (27) and marks the third Ultimate show in 2018. In the main fight, the Brazilian Ronaldo Jacare returns after a series of injuries and a traumatic defeat to the current middleweight champion Robert whittaker. He faces the dangerous Derek Brunson, in a rematch of a duel that already took place at Strikeforce, in August 2012 – on that occasion, the Brazilian knocked out the North American in the first round.

This time, however, Brunson is riding a two-fight winning streak, including a brutal knockout over Lyoto Machida, in addition to triumph, also via the fast track over Olympic judoka Dan Kelly – his last defeat was at UFC 208, in February last year, in a balanced duel against Anderson Silva.

In addition to Jacaré, three other Brazilians will work in the UFC Charlotte, which marks Ultimate's first visit to the city in the state of North Carolina since 2010. The featherweight Geoffrey Pepey tries to end a negative streak against the dangerous Mirsad Bektic; Juliana Lima returns to the octagon against Randa markos, While Netto BJJ busca nova vitória, desta vez diante de Vinc Pinchel.

Starting at 20pm (Brasília time), the 24 fighters involved in the event will step on the scale to reveal their official weights and face their opponents for the last time before the event. See everything live!
