Bernardo Sopai, a 23-year-old Swedish-based Albanian 11-2 prospect representing Allstars Training Center, last fought in December when the former Fight Club Rush champion left FCR to pursue the Allstars Fight Night championship. “The Lion King” won the AFN title against Geovane Vargas as he made the Brazilian fighter submit due to his punches to secure his third straight finish.
Vinicius Oliveira, a DWCS alum and former UAE Warriors champion, is also looking to make his UFC debut. The 19-3 Brazilian, nicknamed “Lok Dog” is coming off a first-round knockout win against Victor Madrigal last September.
Oliveira was originally scheduled to face Yanis Ghemmouri, who withdrew for undisclosed reasons.
