\nUFC Fight Night 278<\/a> headliner.<\/p>\n
\nMuhammad<\/a>, a veteran of 20 fights in the UFC who is coming off a
\ntwo-fight losing streak. On the other side is Gabriel
\nBonfim<\/a>, a Brazilian talent nine years younger who is climbing
\nthe rankings with a 6-1
\nUFC<\/a> mark. This is the dynamic of Saturday\u2019s featured bout at
\nthe UFC Apex in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
\nto Sherdog.com that he prepared for the most difficult fight of his
\nlife.<\/p>\n
\n[Jack
\nDella Maddalena<\/a>], I don\u2019t believe he\u2019ll come to strike with
\nme,\u201d Bonfim said. \u201cAfter all, one of his strengths is the cage
\ngame. I think he\u2019ll look for this game similar to what [Nicolas]\nDalby did. But I trained a lot to avoid his [grappling]. I think
\nIan
\nGarry<\/a> showed the way, breaking his game. The idea is to move
\naround, defend takedowns, use low kicks and connect with my hard
\nhands. My goal is always to knock him out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRandy
\nBrown<\/a> in November that improved his professional record to
\n19-1. Prior to that win, Bonfim\u2019s most notable victory was his
\nsplit-decision win over past title challenger Stephen
\nThompson<\/a> last July.<\/p>\nClose to the Belt<\/h2>\n
\nBonfim<\/a>, was a significant presence during his preparation for
\nMuhammad.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe helped me a lot in this camp.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nthe Top 5 of the UFC rankings and put him one victory away from a
\ntitle shot.<\/p>\n
\nbeat Belal, and [he\u2019s expected to] be the next to fight for the
\ntitle. I believe that if I win convincingly against a former
\nchampion, who is currently ranked fifth, I should either have one
\nmore fight or go straight for the title. Welterweight is probably
\nthe most difficult category in the whole UFC. Any fight is just
\nlike a title fight, so my focus now is 100% on Belal
\nMuhammad<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
