"The Natural". That's what they call Caio Borralho, and is ranked #5 at UFC middleweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
A balanced operator — 5 wins by KO, 4 by submission, 9 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
Most recent outing: a win over Reinier de Ridder via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
