Michel Prazeres is looking to win his fifth straight in the UFC lightweight division, but sometimes he misses the old days in Belem, Brazil.
“Trator" finished Josh Burkman in less than two minutes in his last appearance inside the Octagon in March, and decided to try something different ahead of his UFC Rotterdam clash with Mads Burnell on Saturday. Prazeres trained for two months in the United States, but had no option but come back home after eight weeks.
"I’m a military police officer, so I had to come back to my state or I’d be considered a deserter,” Prazeres told MMA Fighting.
