[autotag]Caio Borralho[/autotag] was fired up after getting his first octagon finish on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 223, walking up to the camera and demanding the world put some “respect on my f*cking name.”
After three decision wins to open his promotional tenure, Borralho (14-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) got the stoppage he’s been looking for when he took the back of [autotag]Michal Oleksiejczuk[/autotag] (18-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the second round of their middleweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, then locked in a rear-naked choke to finish the job.

With a four-fight UFC winning streak at 185 pounds, only Dricus Du Plessis (five) has a longer active streak in the division. Afterward, Borralho called out Derek Brunson.
“Did you like it this time?” Borralho asked Daniel Cormier during his post-fight interview. “I started training more finishes with my team this camp. … I want a top-15 guy. I heard that Derek Brunson wants to fight.”
