Next week’s CES MMA 40 fight card in Lincoln, Rhode Island will feature the return of bantamweight Dinis Paiva as he will meet Zane Behrend on the fight card coming from the Twin River Casino.
Paiva (7-6) will be stepping into competition for the first time in 390 days and enters this fight following a submission defeat against Kody Nordby at CES MMA 31. Prior to that defeat, Paiva had won four in a row and all of those wins came by stoppage in the opening round.
On this edition of “The MMA Report Podcast Extra,” Paiva talks about returning to competition next week for the first time in nearly thirteen months and explained what he learned from his defeat against Nordby last year.
