Francisco Trinaldo made an exceptional return to combat sports at Dirty Boxing 2, achieving a first-round stoppage against Eric Moon. At 46, he struggles to find opponents his age, as younger fighters fear facing him, while others his age recognize his fitness. He has approached fellow UFC veterans Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez for fights but faced rejection. Trinaldo also discusses upcoming title fights, endorsing training partner Amanda Nunes against Kayla Harrison, while promoting Alexandre Pantoja as a formidable champion.
"Actually I keep training hard with the kids [at American Top Team], and what happens is that the young guys don't want to run the risk of being smashed by an older dude in official events."
"They dont want to [fight me]. Actually at my age, I can fight two [opponents] on the same night in sequence."
"Amanda is returning, so she will need to train really hard. Kayla is really impressive... I cheer for Amanda, but she will have to train really, really hard to beat Kayla."
"Nobody trains so hard as Pantoja; I don't see anybody beating him."
