LAS VEGAS – ‘Fighting is a young man’s sport’ is one of MMA’s oldest and most true sayings. For Caio Borralho, it’s one that will be in play for his next career move.
This Saturday, the rising Brazilian contender takes on 40-year-old veteran Jared Cannonier in the main event of UFC on ESPN 62, which takes place at the UFC Apex.
Borralho (16-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who’s nine years younger than Cannonier (17-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC), wonders how much hunger and fight Cannonier has left in him at this stage in his career. He thinks that will be a determining factor in whether he finishes the former UFC title challenger.
