In his last UFC fight, held in February in Las Vegas (USA), Vinicius LokDog suffered his first defeat in the octagon, being easily submitted by Mario Bautista in the second round. However, the Brazilian ignored the event and exuded confidence in his recovery. By switching from bantamweight (up to 61,2 kg) to featherweight (up to 65,8 kg), the bad boy is already making waves and refocusing on a former champion.
Surprisingly, LokDog challenged Aljamain Stering, the former king of the bantamweight division, and provoked him. The Brazilian went further, showing no enthusiasm for the top featherweights and projecting an easier path in the division than he had in the bantamweight division, where he was part of the elite. However, the bad boy is unlikely to get what he wants, as the American is ranked fifth in the division and is in contention for the title.

“New weight class, familiar opponents, no surprises, fight more often this year, make more money, get to the belt faster. Not to mention I know Sterling has nightmares about me and told his friend Merab about it. If he wants it, I want it too,” the bad boy wrote on his official 'X' account.

New weight class, regular opponents without any kind of scare, fighting more often during the year, making more money, getting to the belt faster, not to mention that I know @funkmasterMMA has nightmares about me and told his friend @MerabDvalishvil about it, if he wants it, I want it.
