The Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil was home to an action-packed night of fights, with two (T)KOs, four submissions and six decisions, including one split-decision. Tonight also saw the long-awaited return of Lyoto Machida following an incredibly harsh suspension. Unfortunately, “The Dragon” was knocked out in the main event.
Sao Paulo’s own Pedro Munhoz came into tonight’s fight a slight underdog to American Rob Font, but he wasted no time in showing the bookmakers the error of their ways. The Brazilian chopped down Font’s lead leg from the opening bell and once his much taller opponent started to worry about the low attacks, Munhoz started throwing at his head with venom.
