In a stunning turn of events, Brazilian fighters and analysts pick against one of their countrymen in an upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship bout.
has the eyes of Brazilian faithful focused on his Octagon return on Saturday. In the co-main event of UFC 302, “Borrachinha” faces former champion in a major five-round middleweight matchup. With three losses in his last four outings, the former title challenger is coming in as the betting underdog. Sherdog reached out to six Brazilian coaches, competitors and analysts, who weighed in on the pivotal 185-pound contest.: “Strickland is such an animal.
“‘Borrachinha’ is definitely a war tank who trains really hard. With Strickland, I trained much more, once I went to Xtreme Couture many times. I did, easily, more than 20 rounds with him. Strickland also surprised me a lot in the sparring sessions. He has a unique style of fighting and also has a very high level of wrestling that he didn’t show yet. I see ‘Borracha’s’ strongest point as kicks to the head with both legs and also kicking to the arm.
When he gets the opponent on the fence, he is lethal, but when he is in the middle of the cage, he is using only isolated blows, like he did Whittaker. Sean is also a master on . He is very resistant and has a reasonable advantage in the range, using better combinations. If ‘Borrachinha’ changes his game and brings new tools, he has chances to surprise Strickland, but concerning the last fights of both, I agree with the odds. Strickland is the favorite.
