UFC 179: Aldo vs. Mendes II
Yan Cabral vs. Naoyuki Kotani
One of the Brazil's top rising stars, Rio de Janeiro's Yan Cabral is a groundfighting ace who holds wins over David Mitchell and Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba, but the former Ultimate Fighter Brazil competitor believes that the best is yet to come in his lightweight debut against Naoyuki Kotani tonight. A top submission artist in his own right, Japan's Kotani has earned 25 of his 33 pro wins via tap out, making this an intriguing clash of fighters likely to take matters to the mat in the home of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
