Two of Brazil’s most beloved fighters turned back the clock on Saturday night much to the delight of peers and fans alike.
In the main event of UFC Adelaide, former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos handed Tai Tuivasa his first defeat in emphatic fashion, while the co-headliner saw former light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua stop Tyson Pedro.
It wasn’t a great night for the Australian home crowd who also had to sit through a listless performance from Mark Hunt in what was the last fight on his UFC contract, but that didn’t stop the MMA sphere from having their say on social media about those main card bouts and more.
