The UFC Sao Paulo Fight Week is progressing, with fighters Daniel Marcos and Gabriel Bonfim determined to keep their undefeated records. Nicolas Dalby, who has praised Bonfim as a 'good, untested' fighter, will face him in the co-main event. Bonfim, undeterred by the crowd, is focused on his match against Dalby. Derrick Lewis will take on Jailton Almeida Junior in the main event, marked by a significant weight discrepancy of 29lbs. The event has seen some weigh-in issues, with four fighters, including Ismael Bonfim, Victor Hugo, and Eduarda Moura, missing their weight targets. Vinc Pichel initially failed his weigh-in but succeeded in his second attempt. The event will be aired live on ESPN+, and the USADA Sample Count & Test Session Count for the main event fighters have been released.
