Antonio Carlos Junior ‘dying for a brawl’ against Brad Tavares at UFC 257

Antonio Carlos Junior cannot wait to get back into the Octagon again. Following an understandbly inactive year of 2020, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt is now finally booked to return in early 2021. Paired up against Brad Tavares for a clash of styles at UFC 257, the TUF Brazil 3 hopes his return is a thrilling one.

A Brazilian jiu-jitsu World and Pan American champion, ‘Shoeface’ hopes to score another one of his signature submissions against Tavares. For the first time in his career on a two-fight losing skid, the 30-year-old expects not only to put on an impressive performance, but to end the negative moment he is going through as of late.
