After visiting Canada, the world's largest MMA organization returns home and presents a card that no Brazilian could find fault with. At UFC Vegas 116, an event that takes place this Saturday (25), Aljamain Sterling , former king of the bantamweight division (up to 61,2 kg), makes the main fight against the promising Youssef Zalal , who is extremely important for the featherweight division (up to 65,8 kg). But the main highlight is the Brazilian squad, which has eight professionals in the show.
On the main card, Marcus Buchecha seeks his first UFC victory, Norma Dumont dreams of a title fight in the women's bantamweight division, and Raoni Barcelos aims to break into the top 15 of the men's bantamweight division.
In the preliminary portion, Jafel Pastor aims to join the elite of the flyweight division (up to 57 kg), Mayra Sheetara seeks to end her four-fight losing streak, and Rodolfo Vieira also fights to recover in the octagon. Talita Alencar and Julia Polastri will face off in a Brazilian duel in the opening bout.
