Good career move and I hope that after that he does fight at flyweight ... that division's in need of some more depth ...

@vazio, I think they won't take it too bad if he loses ... my guess is they already had their eye on him for the flyweight division, needed a quick replacement and he was game. He's only just fought and didn't get too beat up so he's probably in shape.
I'm pretty sure he's going to get the "short notice/above his weight class" treatment and "live to fight another day" in the UFC.
Hey, and you never know, he may just pull one off, he's got the KO power (even though Yuri hasn't been KO'd before), stranger things have happened :)

A lot of us didn't think Hacran Dias had much chance against Alcantara. Nobre is a warrior, even if he loses he'll turn some heads. I just hate that he'll be outsized, much like he was against Moraes. Definitely not an idea debut.

That's a 20lbs difference between them when they each last fought. Add that to the fact that Nobre's got UFC jitters, recovery from a fight in December (which granted, he won fairly easy, but still has a wear and tear) and the fact that Alcantara's proven UFC caliber two weight classes higher and you get a tall order for Nobre even if he's the next Anderson Silva. Plus he doesn't have that much time to prepare for Alcantara's style.
Not saying it's impossible, just saying it might be just that bit too much for him right now.
