Almeida challenges Ghana to a fight

Brazilian UFC heavyweight Jailton Almeida has stated his desire to compete against former interim champion Cyril Gagneat a tournament in Paris.

"I was able to see the Statue of Liberty this week, which made my blood boil, and now I want to see the Eiffel Tower. I want to start doing more sightseeing and it just so happens that Cyril Gan will most likely be leading the tournament in France. No matter what, I want to fight in Paris. If it's Cyril Gun, great, if not, I'm ready to face anyone," MMA Mania quotes Almeida as saying.

Recall that on June 1 at the UFC 302 show in Newark, USA, Almeida defeated Alexander Romanov with a first-round choke hold.
