Brunno `The Hulk` Ferreira and Jackson `The Moose` McVey are scheduled to face each other in a middleweight preliminary bout at UFC 318. This event will be held at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, preceding the highly anticipated third clash between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier.
Brunno `The Hulk` Ferreira, a professional fighter with a background from the Brazilian TKO Association, boasts impressive grappling abilities, highlighted by 13 victories and 9 knockouts. His recent submission win against Armen `Superman` Petrosyan demonstrates his effectiveness against opponents willing to engage in grappling exchanges. Ferreira`s strengths include his submission artistry and experience dealing with aggressive strikers.
Jackson `The Moose` McVey enters his sixth professional fight, having honed his knockout-focused striking at St. Charles MMA. His rising prominence is underscored by his powerful striking, which led to a decisive victory over Mataeo `Top Ape` Garner. Undefeated so far, McVey will need to prepare for the grappling and jiu-jitsu threats posed by Ferreira, especially given Ferreira`s refined skill set and potential leverage over shorter opponents he has previously faced.
