Felipe Arantes built a 3-3-1 record as a featherweight in the UFC until he finally decided to cut 10 more pounds before his fights.
The Chute Boxe fighter, who makes his bantamweight debut at Sunday night’s UFC Fight Night 74 against Yves Jabouin, had to change a few things in his training camp for his first fight at 135 pounds, and it wasn’t easy.
