Joanderson Brito on the Upswing

Momentum builds behind Joanderson Brito with each successive conquest inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.

The 29-year-old Brazilian will attempt to move one step closer to a Top 15 ranking in the 145-pound weight class when he squares off with Jack Shore in the featured UFC 301 prelim on Saturday at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Brito booked his sport on the roster via Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2021, fell short in his promotional debut opposite Bill Algeo some five months later and then proceeded to rattle off four consecutive victories, all of them finishes.
