SAO PAULO — Antonio Arroyo had a rollercoaster of emotions ahead of his UFC debut in Sao Paulo.
Arroyo takes on fellow two-time Contender Series vet Andre Muniz on the main card of Saturday’s event, but he had three opponents fall out before finally being matched-up with “Sergipano.”
Arroyo originally was booked against Kevin Holland, but the company pulled him from the card to face Brendan Allen this past month in Boston. Then Arroyo started training for Travis GIlles, but it wasn’t until days later that he was informed Gilles hadn’t actually agreed to the fight.
