SAO PAULO, Brazil — Francisco Trinaldo is close to turning 40 years old, but he has no intention of slowing down.
A longtime veteran of the sport, “Massaranduba” has racked up a 12-5 record since joining the UFC in 2012, and now he has one plan in his mind: Secure as many wins as possible until he guarantees himself another chance to fight top-ranked lightweight Kevin Lee.
Trinaldo, who lost to James Vick in his most recent appearance, will be back in action on Saturday night, when he faces Evan Dunham at the UFC Sao Paulo card in Brazil.
