Raoni Barcelos eyes pair of high-profile opponents for next UFC appearance
"I knew that would be a war. Montel was having good distance control, but I'm a complete fighter, so I used my wrestling to neutralize him. I finished two rounds with a choke on his neck. Unfortunately I wasn't able to submit him, but I got the 'W.'"
"The first name would be Chito Vera, who is coming from a loss. The other name is a countryman, a former champion that I respect a lot, Deiveson Figueiredo. I know that he will have a tough challenge on May 30, but if he wins I would be glad to face him."
Raoni Barcelos achieved his fifth straight UFC victory by defeating Montel Jackson at UFC Fight Night 274. He utilized his wrestling skills effectively during the match, finishing two rounds with a choke. Barcelos, a seasoned fighter with a rich background in wrestling and jiu-jitsu, is confident that this win will lead him into the bantamweight rankings. He expressed interest in fighting Chito Vera or Deiveson Figueiredo next. Barcelos plans to continue training with his father and coach after conducting seminars in California.
