Recent movements involving Caio Borralho e Mauricio Ruffy may indicate a significant loss in the UFC puzzle, at least that's what it believes Renato Moicano. The Brazilian saw in the recent announcements of Luffy on the card of UFC Paris and Borralho as a reserve in UFC 319 a possible indication that there is a plan behind the scenes within the organization.
In a video published on his YouTube channel, Moicano raised the hypothesis that Nassourdine Imavov can leave the fight against Caio Borralho, marked for UFC Paris. For him, this possibility would explain why Borralho accepted to be the main event reserve No. UFC 319, even having to face the challenge of cutting weight twice in a short period of time.
“The conspiracy theory is this: I think Imavov will pull out of the fight against Caio Borralho (check the UFC Paris). Otherwise, Caio would not have accepted to be the reserve in UFC 319, because he's going to have to cut weight twice, my brother.”, he speculated Renato Moicano.
The Brasilia native also pointed out that Imavov's alleged departure could explain why the UFC had chosen Mauricio Ruffy to face Benoit Saint-Denis at the event in Paris.
“And then the embezzlement happened UFC Paris and they're going to put Luffy against BSD. That's what I think. Why am I saying this? Because I thought they were going to use Luffy in the UFC in Brazil, but the main event in France fell through and they have to put someone up to par. Luffy is a promise and Benoit Saint-Denis It is well known and will be popular in France.”, continued the Brasilia native.
Moicano cites Borrachinha and Reinier De Ridder as possible next opponents for Caio Borralho
As for the future of Caio Borralho, Moicano believes that if nothing unexpected happens in the UFC 319, he will remain firmly in the race for the middleweight belt. Still, the athlete will have one more fight before reaching a title shot. For the fighter, Ridder's Reinier e Paulo borrachinha appear as possible adversaries.
"I don't know what they're going to do with Borralho. If there's no problem with UFC 319, he will continue to be the guy to fight for the belt, but he will have to do one more fight. Will they do it? Caio Borralho and De Ridder? Will they do it? Caio Borralho and Borrachinha? There’s something wrong there!” concluded Moicano.
