Madison Square Garden will be the perfect setting to host a unique card, where there will be two belts on the line and the possibility for the first time in history that two fighters will become double champions on the same night. Not only is it the biggest event of the year for the UFC and the world of MMA, but it is an anomalous opportunity that will make this Saturday, November 15 a date that will never be forgotten in combat sports.

Although the gym has quite a few fighters, its four mainstays are Caio Borralho, Carlos Prates, Mauricio Ruffy and Jean Silva. They all burst onto the UFC scene with incredible finishes and overwhelming charisma, which made them win the hearts of fans. Until 2025, they remained undefeated in the company, with a record of 19-0, but this year the hype has plummeted. Following Carlos Prates' defeat to Ian Garry last April, it was now the turn of Caio Borralho and Mauricio Ruffy who fell consecutively at UFC Paris.
