The Octagon returns this Saturday evening where a few Brazilian brothers will be back in action.
After UFC 312 last weekend we return to the Apex on Saturday, where in 2022 in 2022, Gabriel Bonfim and Ismael Bonfim Hoofden ran when it was announced that both brothers and sisters would compete in the same episode of Dana White's Contender Series.
Older brother Ismael achieved a decision victory with Gabriel who submitted his opponent in the first round, both earning UFC contracts.
At UFC 283 in January they shared the map again and immediately had an impact on the UFC by producing two impressive finishes.
The Bonfim brothers will now fight again this Saturday on the same night on UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Rodrigues on 15 February, where the former middleweight Challenger title takes on an emerging competition in the main event.

Ismael and Gabriel Bonfim secured debut finishes in Rio
After booking their tickets for the big show via the Contender series, the Bonfim Brothers arrived in the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro as two new and exciting Brazilian signing sessions.
The Brazilian hunters alternated profit and losses to open the map, but were then time for the UFC debut of Ismael Bonfim, where he would always come across the unpredictable Terrance McKinney, which would be a second round in four UFC fights to see.
His fight with Bonfim took it from the openingstanza, but the Brazilian pulled considerably ahead after he had hit his opponent and supported him to the cage, he dissected one of the most devastating flying knees we saw in the Octagon to get up Take to take one of the best knockouts of 2023.
His brother Gabriel made the walk three fights later and he certainly had a lot to realize after the world had seen that was capable of Ismael.
He may not have earned a performance bonus for his victory, but a slick guillotine suffocates Mounir Lazzez in the opening minute of the fight is about as smooth as UFC debut.
The Bonfim -brothers want to prepare momentum on 15 February
Since UFC 283, the Bonfim brothers have not fought on the same card again, but this changes on Saturday evening to the Apex.
Ismael took the walk once last year, where he had recorded a unanimous decision on Vinc Pichel on UFC 301 to bounce back from his loss to Benoit Saint-Denis.
He will be confronted with Nazim Sadykhov, who has achieved successful victories since he arrives in the lightweight division of the UFC.
Gabriel will be confronted with the American knockout artist Khaos Williams in another exciting matchup while he wants to build the last time out of his victory over Ange Loosa.
