Protagonist of the first fight of the UFC 303, which takes place this Saturday (29), the Brazilian exuded confidence in his abilities and promised that he will soon become a star of the biggest MMA organization in the world.

“Certainly my path to the top could be shorter. The UFC is seeing a star, a moneymaker. I'm that guy the UFC needs. I'm the guy who puts on a show, the guy who talks, the guy who fights, who promotes the fight, puts on a great show and makes things happen. Unlike many who don't, it's not criticizing other fighters. But I see myself as very different from everyone else, I'm a unique guy. The first and last Lok Dog. As I said, I'm a money factory, and this time it won't be any different. I'll get another bonus. I'm going to invest even more and become rich soon. Helping many people and me too”, said Vinicius in an interview with 'Ag.Fight'.

No UFC 303, which takes place next Saturday night (29), Vinicius will face the experienced Ricky Simon, in the fight that opens the long-awaited card. The duel will be valid in the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg).
