It was in the mount that Diniz's nightmare began. With surgical precision, Tybura landed a devastating sequence of elbows, opening deep cuts on his opponent's face. Blood gushed profusely, obscuring Diniz's vision and making it difficult for him to breathe.

The doctors took immediate action. After assessing the extent of the injuries, referee Herb Dean had no choice but to stop the fight. The three deep cuts, located on the nose and above the eyes, posed a significant risk to the Brazilian's health.
