In his first fight for the Ultimate, the Brazilian came into the fight as the athlete with the best chance of winning at UFC Seattle . The event, held this Saturday (28), featured a lightning-fast duel, where Julian Erosa couldn't resist Lerryan Douglas 's frenetic pace in the stand-up fight. Before the fight began, bookmakers had the 'newcomer' at odds of 1,30 and the American at odds of 3,50. The 30-year-old from Paraná arrived with everything in Dana White's company, showing that he is not there to be just another one.
