The next time UFC middleweight Maiquel Falcao steps
in the octagon, one thing is certain: he won’t be playing the role of
unknown Brazilian.
After a controversy-filled UFC 123 win over Gerald Harris, you likely
recognize Falcao as either the Brazilian robbed of a submission win, the
thug that held on to a rear-naked choke too long or the bore who
refused to engage in the bout’s final round.
But Falcao insists he’s none of those things and will shortly be known by another tag: top middleweight contender.
