End of the rivalry? Jean Silva gives up on rematch and encourages Diego Lopes' change in the UFC.

Upon arriving at the ceremony, Malhadinho presented a serious expression and displayed an insane physique. Strengthened, the Bahia native weighed in at 113 kg. Curiously, despite his impressive physique, the representative of the 'Galpão da Luta' team was significantly smaller compared to the Russian, Valter Walker 's training partner.

At 40 years old, Goncharov weighed in at 119,6 kg. It's worth remembering that the heavyweight category has a limit of 120,2 kg. In any case, even with the muscle disadvantage, Malhadinho is considered by many to be the favorite to win this important fight.
