Leandro Issa made his name fighting in Asia, but the 31 year old's career has gone full circle and at UFC 190 next month he will be back in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, fighting an opponent just like he did when he made his professional debut back in 2006.
Issa has won his last two UFC fights by submission, finishing Yuta Sasaki and Jumabieke Tuerxun, and he has been rewarded with a big step up in competition. The opponent at HSBC Arena on Aug. 1, 2015, will be No. 12-ranked Bantamweight Iuri Alcantara.
