Falcao will enter his first promotional foray with a 16-3 career mark that includes 11 victories inside the distance. The 31-year-old Brazilian scored a third-round knockout of James Barnes on Dana White's Contender Series in 2021 but did not receive a UFC contract as a result of that performance. Most recently, he choked out two-time UFC veteran Leonardo Morales Tuff-N-Uff 134 this past November.
Hugo, meanwhile, is in the midst of a 13-bout winning streak that dates back to 2015. In his last outing, the Astra Fight Team member submitted Eduardo Torres Cant with a second-round knee bar on the Contender Series.
