Bantamweight Raulian Paiva has some bad blood ahead of his next fight, at UFC Vegas 57. Having defeated Zhalgas Zhumagulov in 2020, the Brazilian will now take on the Russian’s teammate Sergey Morozv next Saturday, after being called out on social media and accepting the challenge.
In an interview with Combate, Paiva explained the situation, but claims to be unbothered by Morozov’s talk. In fact, Raulian prefers to focus on what he is going to do on Saturday night. Should things go according to plan, the Brazilian expects to score another submission win, but does not rule out a knockout, either.
