After making his UFC debut back in 2011, Raphael Assuncao has proved he is one of the UFC’s best at 135 pounds. Now on a impressive three-fight winning streak, Assuncao wants his shot against Dominick Cruz in a title eliminator fight this June.
It’s hard to believe Assuncao has never fought for the 135-pound title in his UFC career. The Brazilian’s UFC record sits at 10-2, only suffering losses to Erik Koch in his debut, and to T.J. Dillashaw in their rematch, of which Assuncao took the win in their first outing.
