Diego Ferreira had three different opponents for Saturday’s UFC 231 over the past two weeks.
The Brazilian was booked against experienced Canadian lightweight John Makdessi for the Dec. 8 card in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and couldn’t be more excited it. Speaking with MMA Fighting last month, Ferreira explained why this match-up was going to be so great for his career.
“I wanted to fight him for a while, I said ‘I would love to fight this guy one day,’ and looks like God heard me because he put him in my way,” Ferreira said at the time.
