[autotag]Caio Borralho[/autotag] achieved a breakthrough moment in his career Saturday when he put on a shining performance against Jared Cannonier in the UFC on ESPN 62 main event.
Borralho (17-1 MMA, -0 UFC) has now opened his octagon tenure with seven consecutive victories, but none have been bigger than his unanimous decision triumph over Cannonier (17-8 MMA, 10-8 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas in what was deemed the Fight of the Night.
After the win, Borralho rightfully declared himself as a contender on the rise and thinks he could be fighting for the belt in short order, if not next against the winner of the expected 185-pound title bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.
