LAS VEGAS – Caio Borralho is looking to climb the rankings in the UFC’s middleweight division, and he’s already got a name in mind that can help the escalation.
The Brazilian rising contender called out veteran Derek Brunson following his most recent feat inside the octagon. Borralho (14-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) kept his unbeaten status in the UFC and submitted Michal Oleksiejczuk (18-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in their co-main event at UFC Fight Night 223 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
“I called out Derek Brunson,” Borralho told reporters backstage at the UFC Fight Night 223 post-fight news conference. “I heard he doesn’t have a fight. I called him out before my last fight against Makhmud (Muradov) and he was saying, ‘OK, go win two more fights and then we can dance.’ Right now, I think the music is on, so it’s time to dance, Brunson.”
