Brazilian prospect Jonas Bilharinho collecting belts while waiting for offers from UFC, Rizin

Jonas Bilharinho added another belt to his undefeated record earlier this month, and he intends to continue collecting titles until he gets a call from the Ultimate Fighting Championship or Rizin Fighting Federation.

The 7-0-1 prospect, a former Jungle Fight bantamweight and featherweight champion, stopped Amaury Junior to claim the inaugural 1º Round Combat featherweight title on Dec. 6. Fighting for the first time since undergoing surgery on both ankles, Bilharinho broke Junior’s rib in the opening round, dominating the bout until his opponent quit between the third and fourth round.

"I expected a tough fight," Bilharinho told MMAFighting.
