Join us as we cover the UFC Fight Night: Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick Lewis fight card, which is happening live tonight (November 4th) from the Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We’ve got a big boy donnybrook headlining this UFC fight card as the promotion’s #9 rated heavyweight, Jailton Almeida, puts his unblemished 5-0 UFC record on the line against Mr. swangin’ and bangin’ himself, Derrick Lewis. Each matchup tonight contains at least one Brazilian fighter, start time for this UFC fight card is set for 6:00 pm ET.
Two true outcomes. That’s what our main event appears to offer up at face value, with either Almeida securing one of his suffocating submissions, or Lewis laying out the Brazilian with his patented horsepower. Sure, in between either of those possible moments, this one could experience some lulls, but Almeida is someone who pushes the pace with his grappling. He masterfully uses his ground strikes to set up his advances and submissions, and to be quite honest, the more I think about this fight, the more I feel like Derrick is going to get sub’d with an RNC.
The co-main event for this UFC fight night will take place in the welterweight division, when the 15-0 Gabriel Bonfim throws blows with a streaking Nicolas Dalby. Bonfim is a finishing machine! He blipped on the UFC radar with a first round Von Flue choke on DWCS, Gabriel posted up two official UFC wins with back to back guillotines that totaled just over two-minutes. As for Dalby, he’s won four of his last five outings, including a trio of consecutive decisions.
Also on the main card, the smaller Bonfim brother, Ismael, will with tussle with the gritty out Vinc Pichel. Ismael exploded onto the UFC scene with a wicked flying knee KO of Terrance McKinney, and then suffered a submission loss to Benoit Saint-Denis in his sophomore appearance. Pichel is currently on a respectable 7-2 run, but is looking to bounce back from a decision loss to Olympic silver medalist, Mark Madsen. Another matchup to keep an eye on is a middleweight scrap between Caio Borralho and Abus Magomedov.
** The broadcast announced live on air that Rodolfo Vieira vs. Armen Petrosyan was cancelled due to a Petrosyan illness.
