Léo Santos is knocked out in the last second and Bruno Bulldoguinho wins the first in the UFC | combat

Dawson did not respect Léo Santos’ terrain from the beginning. At a disadvantage to hit after receiving many low kicks from the Brazilian, Grant Dawson began looking for takedowns in the first round, but, pressing against the grid, he fell to the ground with a judo crash. In the second round, the two began to look for combat footing and exchanged good blows. In the final half of the round, Dawson managed to leave his rival with his back on the grid and controlled his opponent well, but Leo reacted in the last minute when he reached the back of the American. Just before the timer stopped, Dawson even shot the Brazilian in the head.

In the third round, Dawson insisted on the go-to-ground strategy and, after much insistence, managed to knock down. From the half guard he gave little space to the Brazilian, who did little to get out of position, without threatening the American at any time. It seemed that the fight would go to the decision of the judges and, in the final seconds, Dawson landed four hard blows in the face of Léo, who “fainted”.

With good performance, Bulldoguinho knocks out and wins the first in the UFC

In his best performance since being signed by Ultimate, Bruno Bulldoguinho finally won. The Brazilian, who was coming off two consecutive defeats, did not give JP Buys a chance and got the technical knockout at 2:56 of the second round. Now he has 11 wins, five losses, two draws and a “No Contest” (fight without result) on the poster. The South African debuted in the company and had a sequence of five interrupted positive results.

Bulldoguinho dominated the fight from the start. In the first round, he controlled most of the fight on the ground and, at the sound of the gong, landed a beautiful rotating elbow. In the second, he resolved the shocking confrontation. After landing a bomb in his right hand that led Buys to a knockdown, the Brazilian came up with a series of punches. The South African remained standing, but received another right hand to the head, and the referee interrupted.
