At next week’s Fight Nights Global 85 event, submission specialist Rousimar Palhares will challenge for the promotion’s welterweight title, and he’s promising a performance that is not to be missed. “My opponent is still undefeated,” Palhares said through a translator. “He has a strong punch. It’s not a coincidence that he became the contender for the championship belt. But I’m ready – absolutely.” Brazil’s Palhares (19-8-1) takes on Russia’s Aliaskhab Khizriev (9-0) in the co-main event of Fight Nights Global 85, which takes place March 30 at VTB Ice Palace in Moscow.
