The upcoming UFC 283 tournament in Brazil will host Mauricio Rua and Ihor Potieria. In the third significant bout on the UFC 283 card, Legendary Brazilian Mauricio Rua will face Ukrainian Ihor Potieria in the octagon. “Shogun” will have the last fight of his professional career.
The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
The age difference will be – 15 years. It’s a mismatch, with all due respect to Rua’s past merits. It’s unlikely that the Brazilian will be able to show high speed in the fight, much less outclass Losing in wrestling. If Igor doesn’t make any reckless mistakes himself, it’s more likely that he’ll come away with a solid victory.
UFC veteran and Pride legend Mauricio Rua will likely have his last professional fight. The Brazilian has 27 wins, 13 losses, and one draw. ‘’Shogun’’ has always been famous for his punching skills, as he was able to knock out 21 opponents. But he’s been on the decline, losing two straight to Ovince ‘’OSP’’ St. Preux and Paul ‘’Bearjew’’ Craig. Of course, the striking shirt has left a lot of health in the cage in his 20 years as a professional.
The former UFC welterweight champion and 2005 Pride Grand Prix winner uses a base of muay Thai and jiu-jitsu. Rua was once a good puncher and literally ripped the heads off his opponents with his spits. But it can’t go on like this forever, because in MMA there are always those who are stronger, and any fight is over sooner or later. The 41-year-old Brazilian fighter is now, of course, the time to hang up the gloves.
Ukrainian fighter Igor Loss will fight for the second time under the banner of the world’s strongest organization. The debut for the Kyiv fighter didn’t work out, he lost by technical knockout to Romanian Romanian Nicolae Negumereanu in the second round.
Still, it played a cruel joke on the 26-year-old, the fact that he has not had a quality level of opposition in his career. ‘’The Duelist’’ has a total of 18 wins and three defeats to his credit. He is a graduate of the Dana White challenger series.
The Ukrainian relies on a sambo base. He has good skills on different planes but lacks experience of performing at a high level. There is definitely a need for Igor to spar more with big-name foreign fighters who will help him improve his skills and adapt fully to the UFC.
