“I was eager to get this fight already at CAGE 30, but it got canceled due to Carlos’ injury. I’m positive our fight will be a great show for the CAGE-fans. I know Carlos trains at the same academy with Makwan Amirkhani, so after our fight he can tell me which one of us is tougher!” says Domingos.

“It’s going to be a good fight” says Prada about the matchup against the BJJ World Champion Domingos who will make make his second appearance with CAGE after signing a contract with the promotion. “I have an all around style… I do it all” says the featherweight about the matchup of skills.
