UFC 147 FACEBOOK CARD PREVIEW

By David Tees on 6/20/2012 3:20 PM

The UFC will be making a third trip to Brazil featuring a card full of cast members from the UFC Ultimate Fighter: Brazil. There will be two fights streaming on Facebook before the other two cards start, continuing the streak of events being on the website. These two fights airing on Facebook will feature several Brazilian fighters competing for a spot on the UFC.

Kicking off the action is a lightweight division fight as Felipe “Sartanejo” Arantes (14-4-0) faces Milton “Miltinho” Vieira (13-7-0). Felipe Arantes is coming off of his first UFC victory, which came over Antonio Carvalho by decision at UFC 142. Milton Vieira will be making his UFC debut in this fight, but he did compete once in Strikeforce with a victory over Sterling Ford. This will be a good way to kick off the whole event, but it will be Felipe Arantes picking up his second UFC victory.

Headlining this portion of the card is a featherweight division fight as Marcos Vinicius “Vina” Borges Pancini (19-3-0) battles Wagner “Galeto” Campos (11-3-0). Marcos Vinicius Borges Pancini enters the fight riding a three fight winning streak, but he has competed in an MMA fight in nearly a year. Wagner Campos has only won one of his last three entering this fight, last competing in the Power Fight extreme promotion. These are two big time prospects to keep an eye on in this fight, but it will be Marcos Vinicius Borges Pancini getting the duke here.
