Caio Borralho is in the top five middleweight boxers in the UFC next week.

He won an impressive unanimous decision over Jared Cannonier in the UFC Vegas 96 main event. The fight was a tough one. Both fighters had their moments, but Borralho had the most memorable, especially in the fifth round when he nearly stopped Cannonier. A one-two combo shook Cannonier up.

To be fair, the fight could have been stopped based on how Cannonier fell to the canvas. Veteran referee Dan Miragliota let it continue and Cannonier survived the round with grit and determination.

However, Borralho had clearly done enough to secure the win. After the fight, Borralho was asked for a call-out. He may have squandered an opportunity by calling the current champion Dricus Du Plessis.

As the likely No. 5 fighter, that’s not a crazy concept. However, since Sean Strickland has already been promised the next shot at the title, it doesn’t make sense to demand a title shot. The right callout would have been Israel Adesanya. The former champion has lost his last two fights, but is still ranked No. 3.

If Borralho gets that fight and wins, he can ask for a title shot and have a better case. As it stands, he has secured one of the bonuses of the event, as he and Cannonier won Fight of the Night for their entertaining bout.
