studied fight

The two fighters, who usually start their fights explosively, started by studying each other a lot this time. The Brazilian changed his stance a lot to try to confuse his opponent. Abus tried to land some high kicks, but they were all blocked by Hulk.

In the second round, Abus started boxing well, taking advantage of the height difference compared to the Brazilian. Three minutes in, Hulk landed a left jab that dazed his opponent. Unfortunately, the follow-up kick didn't connect and the Russian took the fight to the ground. Both tried to attempt a submission, but to no avail. Brunno got up, but Abus took the fight to the ground again and controlled it from above until the end of the second round with a few punches, but the Brazilian barely felt it.

In the last round, Abus insisted on taking the fight to the ground once again... and successfully! At 3 minutes and 14 seconds he applied a katagatame, with no chance of reaction from the Brazilian, who tapped, giving the final score to the fight.
