Caio Borralho chose to stand with Jared Cannonier for the entirety of their five-round main event of UFC Vegas 96, and it was enough to get the job done in a wild middleweight battle. After the biggest win of his career, how close is Borralho now to a title shot?

Following Saturday’s Fight Night event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Eric Jackman react to the latest APEX fight card, Borralho’s victory, the great battle between “The Natural” and Cannonier, and discuss where Borralho could go next. Additionally, topics include Tabatha Ricci’s co-main event win over Angela Hill, Mairon Santos and Ryan Loder earning contracts after winning The Ultimate Fighter, Michael Morales and Gerald Meerschaert’s impressive finishes, and more.
