Brunno Ferreira is eyeing a spot in the UFC's middleweight top 10, and he plans on defeating a familiar face from his past to help get him there. Ferreira made his UFC debut back in January 2023 against compatriot Gregory "Robocop" Rodrigues at UFC 283, and now, three years later, the pair are all set to run it back as they kick off the main card at UFC 326 on Saturday night.
The bout came about very quickly when Ferreira's originally-scheduled opponent, Paulo Costa, withdrew from the matchup. The UFC's matchmakers pivoted quickly and offered a bout with Rodrigues, which Ferreira gladly accepted.
