Jiu-jitsu World Champion Rodolfo Vieira did finish yet another fight by submission in his latest Octagon appearance. However, the Brazilian was mostly satisfied with the stand-up part of his battle against Dustin Stoltzfus at UFC Vegas 31.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Vieira explained how he wanted to showcase the evolution of his striking against Stoltzfus. Although Rodolfo knew he could make things easier by taking the fight to his comfort zone, he only chose to do so in the third round, after proving to himself he could handle some striking exchanges and not panic.
