SAO PAULO, Brazil — Francisco Trinaldo already has a name in mind for his next bout in the Octagon after scoring a close decision win over Bobby Green at Saturday night’s UFC Sao Paulo show.
With the promotion set to return to Brasilia on March 14, a city where “Massaranduba” lived at for years early in his MMA career, the Brazilian lightweight issued a respectful callout to Edson Barboza.
“I have nothing against Barboza, he’s the best Muay Thai fighter in Brazil in my opinion, but, f*ck, imagine Barboza and I putting on a great fight in Brasilia?
