The first two finalists for The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4 have been determined, as the latest episode featured all-Team Shogun showdowns between Glaico “Nego” Franca and Joaquim “Netto BJJ” Silva in the lightweight division and Dileno Lopes versus Matheus Nicolau in the bantamweight division.
It was obviously a rough week for all four fighters, considering they had to face each other after a season of helping one another get ready for matchups against Team Nogueira while bonding under coach Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
For his part, Rua tried to keep things positive in the final days leading up to the two semifinal matchups while also informing his team that he would not participate in any way, shape or form in the training or cornering of the fighters participating in the two bouts this week.
