Michel Prazeres keeping weight low, hoping to return to lightweight after UFC Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Michel Prazeres was successful in his return to welterweight, but he’s not done with lightweight just yet.

“Trator” was forced to move up a division after failing to make the 155-pound limit in three of his last four lightweight bouts in the UFC, and beat Zak Cummings in a 170-pound clash at UFC Chile in May. Six months later, Prazeres comes back against Bartosz Fabinski at UFC Argentina, scheduled for Saturday night in Buenos Aires, but still aims to convince the promotion to give him another chance in his original weight class.
