Veteran Brazilian featherweight, Melquizael Costa has racked up his second victory on the trot tonight on the preliminary card of UFC Seattle — forcing a stunning, buzzer-beating opening round guillotine choke submission win over stalwart challenger, Andre Fili.
Costa, who most recently featured at a UFC Fight Night event at the Apex facility last summer, rebounded to the winner’s enclosure with a third round finish against Shayilan Nuerdanbieke — landing a rear-naked choke stoppage tonight.
And sporting face paint to the official weigh-ins overnight in a bid to offer support to fellow people who suffer with vitiligo, Lopes showed off his finishing ability once more tonight against perennial featherweight challenger, Fili — wrapping up his seventh submission victory.
