UFC bantamweight Felipe Colares is in need of a win next Saturday to begin his first streak in the Octagon. However, that is not all that motivates the Brazilian to step into the cage at UFC Vegas 39.
Paired up against Chris Gutierrez for the opening main card bout, Colares intends to dedicate a win to his own mother. In an interview with Combate, Felipe revealed how his mom was such an inspiration for himself ahead of this match, due to surviving a battle against cancer in the parotid glands.
“Thank God I was able to have a different camp this time,” Colares said.
