Epic comeback in UFC debut
Bellato defeated Ihor Potieria via TKO (punches) at 4:17 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
Making his official company debut after a knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in early-October, Bellato was the largest favorite on the card at -425. He looked awful a good portion of the fight and appeared to be well on his way to a knockout loss in Round 2, but Potieria gassed out in search of the finish, and Rodoflo showed plenty of heart in hanging in there and eventually turning the tables on his opponent. So, while the win is nice and the comeback was terrific, this wasn't exactly an encouraging performance from Bellato on his maiden voyage with the UFC. Still, he'll walk away with a $50,000 bonus after this bout was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

UFC debut scheduled
Bellato will compete against Ihor Potieria in a light heavyweight fight at UFC Austin on Dec. 2, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Potieria, a 6-foot-3 Brazilian light heavyweight, recently earned a UFC contract by impressing during Dana White's Contender Series. With an 11-2 record at just 27 years old, he will look to make a significant impact in the company's light heavyweight division.
