Las Vegas, NV – UFC middleweight Brunno Ferreira had a redemption of sorts after he finished Phil Hawes at UFC Vegas 84 on Saturday night.
“Very happy with the win. Everything that I went through in July…I went through a lot. Working a lot to become a better fighter and to put new things into my fight game,” Ferreira told reporters including Cageside Press through a translator at his post-fight scrum.
Ferreira suffered a TKO loss at the hands of Nursulton Ruziboev last July.
“I learned a lot from that fight. It was an opportunity to become a better fighter. I’m the person that I expect the most out of myself. I put a lot of weight on myself and this was a weight that was lifted off my back,” he said.
With the his start to 2024 being a positive one Ferreira looked ahead to what he’d like to do next.
“Everything has “why” everything has a reason. This fight was supposed to happen before, and he’s already run away from me once at the end of the year. He didn’t fight me, but at the end of the day I have a brother, I have a training partner and a friend in Bruno Silva,” said Ferreira.
“He (Hawes) welcome him into his home. So we would like to welcome him into our home. So Shara Bullet (Sharabutdin Magomedov) we want to face him in Brazil.”
