Paulo ‘Borrachinha,’ Oluwale Bamgbose to Clash at UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro

A middleweight clash between Paulo Henrique Costa and Oluwale Bamgbose has been booked for UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro.

Multiple outlets have confirmed the pairing following an initial report by Brazilian outlet Combate. UFC 212 takes place at HSBC Arena on June 3 and is headlined by a featherweight championship tilt between Jose Aldo and Max Holloway.

“Borrachinha” had an explosive Octagon debut, as he defeated Garreth McLellan via technical knockout 77 seconds into their encounter at UFC Fight Night 106 on March 11.
