Flashy welterweight striker Elizeu Zaleski is not going anywhere for a while, as MMA Fighting reports that ‘Capoeira’ has just signed a new four-fight contract with the UFC. According to Combate, he is expected to have the first bout of his new deal at UFC 251, against Muslim Salikhov.
In his last outing, Elizeu Zaleski (22-6) bested Alexey Kunchenko via unanimous decision, back in March. Before the victory, the 33-year-old suffered his first UFC loss since 2015, when he was TKO’d by fellow heavy-hitter Li Jingliang, in August 2019. The defeat snapped a seven-fight win streak for the Brazilian, with four finishes.
