Elizeu Zaleski’s record dropped to 22-7 last time out when he came up short against Muslim Salikhov at last year’s UFC 251. That split decision loss came after a unanimous decision win over Alexey Kunchenko and a TKO loss to Li Jingliang. Before that loss he was on a seven UFC fight winning streak.
As he hopes to get back in the win column ‘Capoeira’ is trying to call his own shot. Specifically, he wants to be one of the last opponents ‘The Immortal’ Matt Brown faces before calling it a day.
Zaleski told MMA Fighting that his reason for wanting to fight Brown is much more personal than a simple desire for a banger up against another action-fighter.
