Caio Borralho started this trend by wearing these distinctive glasses with thick frames and tape on the nose bridge during his fights and media appearances. His success inspired teammates Carlos Prates, Jean Silva, Bruna Brasil, and Mauricio Ruffy to adopt the same style.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is this the year of the Fighting Nerds? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCVegas100?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFCVegas100<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3JDOxHdmZt\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/3JDOxHdmZt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1855442861711573315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 10, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The glasses aren&rsquo;t just a fashion statement.
