Yuri Fernandes conheceu o céu e voltou. Esquiva deu aquela acelerada e quase nocauteia. Sorte do ex-BBB ser uma luva de 14 oz. #BoxeNoCombate pic.twitter.com/74On1V8MP7

In the biggest surprise of the night, comedian Whindersson Nunes managed to fight Freitas all the way to a draw, since only a knockout would declare anyone the winner. After the main event’s result, Freitas took the chance to call out former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
