Caio Borralho extended his unbeaten streak to 16 with a spectacular five-round performance against one-time title challenger Jared Cannonier in the UFC Vegas 96 headliner.
Borralho and Cannonier unleashed their heaviest attacks throughout the 25-minute affair. In the early going, Borralho found success with his jab and attacking the lead leg of his opponent. Cannonier came roaring back in round two and managed to land some big power punches against the fence. However, the momentum switched back in the third round after Borralho landed a straight right hand that had Cannonier on the ropes.
Cannonier made it out of the round and managed to bounce back in the fourth leading the commentary team to believe that the fight was even going into the fifth and final round.
