Francisco Trinaldo more adapted to welterweight division: ‘I was a bit nervous’

Lightweight veteran turned welterweight Francisco Trinaldo expects a much better performance in his second outing at the new division. Now paired up against Dwight Grant for a match at UFC Vegas 41, the Brazilian wants to show he has corrected the mistakes from the divisional debut in his last fight.

In an interview with Combate, ‘Massaranduba’ addressed some of the problems he suffered in his loss to Muslim Salikhov, when he first made the move to welterweight. Now feeling more confident and adapted, Francisco hopes to erase all doubt and pick up an exciting knockout win on Saturday.
