On May 4, Vinc Pichel is showing up in Rio ready to throw hands whether his opponent misses weight again or not.
After their UFC Sao Paulo scrap fell apart on the scale, the promotion rebooked the bout between Pichel and Ismael Bonfim that was originally scheduled to go down last November. Bonfim stepped on the scale three-and-a-half pounds over the lightweight limit for their initial booking, resulting in the cancelation of their fight.
Speaking with Hyon Ko of The Allstar, Pichel offered some insight into Bonfim’s massive weight miss and his decision to turn down the fight.
