Gabriel Bonfim seems to grasp the tenuous nature of perfection in mixed martial arts. As such, he bears no additional weight from carrying it on his shoulders.
“Marretinha” will ride a 13-0 record into his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut at UFC 283, where he locks horns with Mounir Lazzez in a three-round welterweight prelim on Saturday at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. All 13 of Bonfim’s victories have resulted in finishes, 10 of them via submission.
“My record is the result of hard training and focus,” he told Sherdog.
