This is the UFC 334 live blog for Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui, the main card middleweight bout Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Borralho (18-2, 1 NC) is currently No. 5 at 185 pounds in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Despite having won eight of his nine UFC appearances, Borralho finds himself having to defend his spot rather than angle for a title shot. It doesn’t help that he’s fought several of the other contenders in his division already. Following a loss to Nassourdine Imavov in September, Borralho rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Reinier de Ridder at UFC 326.

A former adversary and now training partner of former two-division UFC champion Alex Pereira, Belgaroui (11-3) has quickly established himself as one of the most dangerous standup threats in the middleweight division. The Dutch kickboxer has defeated his first three UFC opponents, all by knockout, most recently needing less than a round to put away Djorden Santos.
