The Ultimate Fighting Championship was back in Sao Paulo Brazil for a solid card from top to bottom, especially when compared to many offerings this year. The main event featured native Brazilian heavyweight contender Jailton Almeida against the UFC's all-time leader in knockouts, Derrick Lewis. The two big men, however, were headed in opposite directions going into the main event. Almeida, for his part, was a surging contender riding an incredible 14-fight winning streak, including 5-0 in the UFC, all by finish. He had triumphed in his first main event in his last outing, a submission in just under 4 minutes of deadly striker Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
