With the UFC touching down in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a fight night stacked with South-American talent was well underway last night.
In the main event, surging light-heavyweight contender Jan Blachowicz looked to pick up his second straight KO. Standing in his way was middleweight pioneer Ronaldo ‘Jacare‘ Souza. The jiu-jitsu ace, ‘Jacare‘, attempted 5 takedowns against his opponent over the duration of the contest, none of which were landed.
With stellar takedown defence and a technical striking display, Blachowicz picked up his 25th career win.
