Video: Look who's predicting Maldonado to upset Miocic at TUF Brazil 3 Finale

SAO PAULO – You can find a large number of fights fans – and even fellow fighters – who think light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado can upset heavyweight Stipe Miocic, a 5-1 favorite. You just need to head south to find them.

Maldonado (21-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) moves up a weight class for a late-notice fight against Miocic (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in Saturday’s FOX Sports 1-televised headliner at the TUF Brazil 3 Finale.

But can the Brazilian really upset one of the heavyweight division’s youngest contenders when Maldonado and Miocic meet at Sao Paulo’s Ibirapuera Gymnasium?

If you ask the other Brazilian fighters on the card, they, of course, are optimistic about Maldonado’s chances. Check out the video above as the fighters make their predictions (and as Brazilian MMA reporters Renato Rebelo and Guilherme Cruz offer their own breakdowns).
