Tomorrow night’s 12-fight card in Rio de Janeiro features four lightweight bouts on the supporting card that is set to air on Fox Sports 2 and on the UFC.tv website.
The main bout of the undercard features experienced lightweight veterans Akbarh Arreola and Franciso Trinaldo, who have over 50 fights between them. Also at lightweight, Leandro Silva faces Drew Dober and Cain Carrizosa squares off against Leonardo Mafra. Silva and Dober have both won and lost in the UFC, so both enter the fight needing a win to start building some momentum. Carrizosa and Mafra both are veterans who are coming off losses in their UFC debut. A featherweight bout between Japan’s Katsunori Kikuno and Kevin Souza closes out the undercard matches that will air on FS2. Both Kikuno and Souza have two wins in the UFC, and a win here for either man could see them move up a step in competition.
The two matches that will open the show will be shown at the UFC website and features flyweights Bentley Syler and Freddie Serrano to open the show. Both men are making their UFC debuts as the UFC looks to add depth to the 125 lb division. Joining them on UFC.TV will be Lightweights Christos Giagos and Jorge Antonio Cezario de Oliveira in an interesting match-up of two fighters who are (0-1) in the UFC.
