The Brazilian crowds are going to expect more than a few tough bouts at UFC Fight Night 106 in Fortaleza. Apart from the main event featuring welterweight import Kelvin Gastelum and fomer UFC champion Vitor Belfort the light heavyweight bout between Gian Villante and Mauricio Rua and another in the lightweight in which Beneil Dariush is pitted against Edson Barboza.

Gian Villante (15-7) vs. Mauricio Rua (24-10)

Rua enters the ring after back to back wins against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Corey Anderson. Rua made a great start to his career in combat sports but is now kind of had his enthusiasm mellowed down. His opponent, Villante too isn’t too much of a threat since he failed to gain any momentum and hasn’t been able to hit the top 10. Talent and skill isn’t his style. He has won most of his bouts through sheer toughness and courage. However, a seasoned fighter like Rua does have the upper hand in what could be a technical knockout.

Beneil Dariush (14-2) vs. Edson Barboza (18-4)

Fans of UFC must have noticed how Edson Barboza  gets so close yet so far from title contention especially in fights against Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson. Dariush should be a tough opponent since he is sure to bring out his grappling skills like he did against James Vick. Barboza is likely to do what he does best and that is keep circling and get in a few stunning leg kicks. If Dariush is mentally prepared for the initial onslaught from the Brazilian then he could make it a close fight. Nevertheless, we expect a unanimous decision in favor of Barboza.
