Heavyweight newcomer Raphael Pessoa wants to leave his mark in the Octagon right from his debut, at UFC Montevideo. He is paired up against muay thai specialist and Francis Ngannou’s teammate, Cyril Gane, who will also perform for the first time for the promotion. According to ‘Bebezao,’ he’s had the best camp possible for the match.
In an interview with Bloody Elbow, Pessoa also explains that he isn’t too intimidated by Gane’s background in muay thai, which includes two national championship belts, preferring to focus on his own arsenal and what he can bring to the table on Saturday night.
