A large number of high-profile matchups are beginning to dominate the UFC headlines. Despite some big-name fighters returning, fans still rightfully get excited about barnburner fights.
The middleweight division is becoming more and more stacked with each new addition to the UFC roster. With that being said, the promotion is now in a prime position to pit together two athletes—who are arguably lesser known than the more established names on the roster—in potential fight-of-the-year caliber fights.
As announced earlier on social media, the two titans with devastating knockout power have been matched up by the UFC with Abdul Razak Alhassan colliding with Brunno Ferreira on May 20.

'The Hulk' impressed in his promotional debut earlier this year. After taking the fight on short notice, the powerhouse delivered a silencing one-punch knockout of fellow Brazilian Gregory Rodrigues.
The undefeated South American will have to be at his best once again if he wants to bypass the destructive Abdul Razak Alhassan. After enduring a tough run of form and losing four of five inside the cage, the Ghanaian collected a huge finish against Claudio Ribeiro last time out.
The two middleweights have unsurprisingly never reached the judges' scorecards when they manage to get their hands raised. The pair have collectively combined for a perfect 22 finishes from 22 wins throughout their careers in mixed martial arts.
UFC middleweight Brunno Fereira: Taking a closer look at 'The Hulk's unbeaten career
Brunno Fereira was somewhat of an unknown entity before his explosive debut in the octagon. But how has the UFC middleweight looked throughout his unbeaten career in the sport?
The 30-year-old debuted back in 2019 and despite having dynamite in his hands, he was known to be a serious submission threat early into his career. In his eight outings before being picked up by Dana White, the 185er picked up three submission victories.
Making a Contender Series appearance late last year, Fereira collected a first-round finish over veteran Leon Aliu. The finisher earned his octagon debut, which extended his undefeated record to 10 wins and 0 losses.
