The UFC Fight Night: Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick Lewis fight card is going down live this Saturday (November 4th) from the Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the first time the promotion has been to Brazil since January, when Jamahal Hill defeated Glover Teixeira to win the UFC light heavyweight title. This time around, top heavyweights will grace the main event when the promotion’s #9 ranked, Jailton Almeida, gets into a clash of styles with the ever-popular #10 ranked, Derrick Lewis. The start time for this UFC fight card is set for 6:00 pm ET.
It was supposed to be Curtis Blaydes opposite Almeida this weekend, but after an injury removed Blaydes from the Brazilian card, Lewis was brought in to replace him. This main event went from a battle of prolific grapplers, to a wicked submission ace up against a lethal knockout artist. I think the odds of this one ending early are much higher than what they were for Almeida vs. Blaydes.
On the undercard, Brazil’s Bonfim brothers will be on deck for the Sao Paulo crowd, with Gabriel Bonfim matching up with Nicolas Dalby in the welterweight co-main event. His brother, Ismael Bonfim, will throw down with Vinc Pichel at 155-pounds earlier in the night. Another Brazilian standout on the card is the submission-savvy Caio Borralho, who is paired up with a rebounding Abus Magomedov (who lost to newly crowned UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland last time out, in his UFC main event debut).
