Nova Uniao is representing correct!!! Hacran is an awesome addition to the already stacked 145 div. can’t wait to see what happens with Aldo. Will he move up?
Nova Uniao has a great team. It will be fun to see what Hacran will do in the mix. His record is almost the same as his team mat Jose Aldo. That’s cool!
It is about time Hacran Dias gets in the big show!! I’m glad he didn’t have to go through that Tuf show. Let’s see what these wrestlers will do to this dude.
