Coming off a stoppage victory over Jimy Hettes at UFC on FOX 15 in April, the TUF 14 featherweight winner will likely return to action in August, and promises to finish any opponent in five minutes.
"Sean Shelby told me I will fight soon. He told me to keep my weight down because I will fight soon," Brandao told MMAFighting.com. "I haven’t stopped training since my fight with Jimy Hettes. I want to enter the top 10 of the division. That’s my first goal now."
According to Brandao, the UFC contacted him about fighting at UFC Fight Night 66, less than a month after his win over Hettes, but the offer never materialized.
