After an unsuccessful debut in July of this past year, Carlos Felipe got his sophomore assignment for October against powerful puncher Yorgan De Castro. After out-working the Cape Verdean native on the feet for the better part of fifteen minutes, Felipe took home a decision and his first UFC win. Although that win is always a good feeling, Felipe felt a lot of that validation in his first fight as well.
