The UFC held its weigh-ins for UFC 212 earlier today (Fri. June 2, 2017) and things got very interesting between middleweights Oluwale Bamgbose and Paulo Borrachinha.

Both men squared off in the traditional face-to-face stare downs, and things got real heated between the two, who began exchanging words before a shoving match ensued. Both men needed to be separated before things escalated any further. You can check that out here:

Bamgbose has won two of his last four Octagon appearances, with his most recent bout seeing him lose a unanimous decision to Cezar Ferreira at UFC on FOX 19 in April of last year. After a string of incident keeping him out of the Octagon, including an injury and the tragic death of his scheduled opponent at UFC Fight Night 102 Josh Samman, Babgbose will be making his first Octagon appearance in over a year.

Borrachinha is quite the impressive prospect who is currently undefeated in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and has finished each of his opponents in the first round. His last fight saw him make his UFC debut against Garreth McLellan at UFC Fight Night 106 where he won via first round TKO.

Given the added animosity on top of these two fighters’ finishing ability, this should be a middleweight match-up fight fans don’t want to miss out on.

The UFC’s latest foray to the homeland of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was an exciting one tonight (Saturday, March 11, 2017). UFC Fight Night 106 emanated from Centro de Formação Olímpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. The main event between Vitor Belfort and Kelvin Gastelum ended as many predicted it would: with Gastelum standing over a prone Belfort.

“The Phenom” had his moments, but the younger, fresher Gastelum proved too much for the Old Lion. Gastelum ate Belfort’s fast hands and dropped him with a left hand. Belfort would survive on the ground and ultimately return to his feet, but from that point on, he was compromised. Gastelum put him down for good with another left hand moments later, and this time, referee Mario Yamasaki had no choice but to intervene on Belfort’s behalf. Gastelum would pocket an extra $50,000 for his impressive performance.

Elsewhere in main card action, Edson Barboza would bank his own $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his sensational, instantaneous, come-from-behind jump-knee knockout of Beneil Dariush. Dariush consistently beat the scintillating Barboza to the punch over the course of the bout’s first eight minutes. But one well-timed knee was all it took for Barboza to escape with the second-most impressive finish of his career, and an extra 50 G’s.

On the undercard, Michel “Trator” Prazeres blew the doors off wily veteran Joshua Burkman in less than a round. Burkman had only been finished one other time in his illustrious career, but Prazeres did the honors with shocking ease. A right hand wobbled Burkman and Prazeres poured on the punishment relentlessly. When Burkman survived the follow-up volley against the cage, Prazeres took him down, advanced to north-south position, and sunk in the fight-ending choke. He’ll go home an extra $50,000 richer for his dominant performance.

Lastly, the curtain-jerker offered extreme violence from the middleweight division. UFC newcomer Paulo Borrachinha plastered four-fight big-show veteran Garreth McLellan with powerful punches in the very first round. The notoriously tough McLellan could never find his footing, as he was put on the defensive from the word “go”. Borrachinha trapped his prey on the fence, bombed away with haymakers, and mopped him up on the mat when McLellan sought refuge there. The UFC debutante pocketed an extra $50,000 for his impressive striking display.
