Brito, on the other hand, is on a great run in his career. Having started his pro MMA career in 2013, he was 1-2 in his first three fights. However, he has been unstoppable since then.
‘Tubarao’ is on a 10 fight win streak right now and is undefeated in his last 12. He is a tenacious fighter and mostly likes to take the fight to the ground. His last win was at Dana White’s Contender Series, and his fight against Algeo will be his promotional debut.

This will be a fight between styles. Algeo is an excellent striker. He does not like to hold back and goes for a power shot with every hit. Despite mainly being a striker, he can hold his own on the mat as well. However, he always seems to get into wars and that might be great for him here.
As ‘Senor Perfecto’ (14-6) is coming off a loss in his last fight, he would like to get back in the win column. He will be helped with a one-inch reach advantage going into the fight.
