Get to know Raulian Paiva ahead of UFC on ESPN+ 14
While there appears to be new life in the flyweight division, Raulian Paiva seeks to notch his first UFC win at flyweight then move up a weight class.
He takes on fellow Dana White Contender Series alum Rogerio Bontorin, at UFC on ESPN+ 14 on Saturday in Montevideo, Uruguay, and doesn’t believe that the 125-pound division will stick around for much longer. Paiva (18-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) earned his UFC contract on DWCS 2018, but narrowly dropped his UFC debut to Kai Kara-France at UFC 234 via split decision, in a fight that he thought he won.
Paiva is currently training at Team Alpha Male, and has won 12 of his last 13 fights.
