Francimar Barroso had eight knockouts on his MMA record before signing with the UFC in 2013, including a five-second stoppage in Jordan, but never showed his finishing skills inside the Octagon.
That finally came in his Professional Fighters League debut.
After competing as a light heavyweight in the UFC for more than four years, “Bodao” decided to move up to heavyweight for the 2018 PFL season, and it paid off with a first-round finish of Daniel Gallemore in June.
Set to return to the PFL cage tonight at the Nassau Coliseum in New York against fellow UFC veteran Jack May, Barroso feels he’s finally reaching his full potential.
