UFC middleweight Rodolfo Vieira came into UFC 258 with a reputation befitting of a five time BJJ World Champion. The highly decorated BJJ black belt was 7-0 heading into his contest with the relatively unheralded Anthony Hernandez after scoring two submission wins to start his UFC career.
Much to the surprise of most onlookers, and Vegas who had Vieira as a -470 favourite, Hernandez was able to beat ‘The Black Belt Hunter’ in less than two rounds; ending the contest with a guillotine choke.
Vieira, who was probably the most surprised at the outcome, took to Instagram after the fight to let his followers know just how distraught he is with the turn of events.
