Having shared the cage with the likes of Robert Whittaker, Israel Adesanya, and Anderson Silva, Jared Cannonier (17-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) has contended with some of the greatest competitors the UFC middleweight division has ever produced. On Saturday, he will battle another 185-lb. standout in Brazil’s own Caio Borralho (16-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) at UFC Vegas 96.
Since earning a UFC contract on Season 5 of Dana White’s Contender Series back in 2021, Borralho has remained perfect inside the world-famous Octagon, winning six fights in a row, including a huge knockout victory over Paul Craig in his last bout.
