Caio Borralho: Performance Against Jared Cannonier Will 'Take Me to the Belt'

Caio Borralho knows he’s on the precipice of big things in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s middleweight division.

The Fighting Nerds product earned the most signifcant victory of his career to date in the UFC on ESPN 62 headliner, as he weathered a game effort from Jared Cannonier to capture a unanimous decision triumph on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Borralho nearly finished the contest in the fifth round to put a stamp on his seventh consecutive promotional triumph. The Brazilian known as “The Natural” came away quite pleased with his performance against a former middleweight title challenger.
