Joanderson Brito earned a gruesome TKO win earlier tonight (Sat., May 4, 2024) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as the featherweight contender battered Jack Shore’s leg to open up a cut too nasty to let the fight continue.

Brito was in control from the opening bell with forward pressure, hard leg kicks, and heavy punches. Shore would try to grapple to gain an upper hand, but Brito’s strength was too difficult to deal with. The Brazilian was simply a runaway train.

The leg kicks continued to pile up late into the fight and Shore’s leg became compromised. Brito eventually opened up a small cut on Shore’s leg and UFC play-by-play announced Jon Anik called it out on the broadcast. Moments later, Brito landed another leg kick, but this time the cut grew larger and blood started pouring down Shore’s leg.

Brito noticed the cut and began to punch Shore’s leg along the cage. That caught the attention of the referee, who stepped in and called a timeout. Upon doctor review, Shore’s cut on his leg was too significant for him to continue. The fight was waived off and Brito walked away wit the TKO win.

Mauricio Ruffy drew comparisons to a “young Conor McGregor” earlier tonight (Sat., May 4, 2024) at UFC 301 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when the lightweight prospect steamrolled veteran Jamie Mullarkey with a lopsided first-round TKO (punches).

Right off the bat you could tell Ruffy was levels above Mullarkey on the feet. The Brazilian prospect had a similar stance to McGregor’s and it allowed him to control his distance, pick his shots with precision, and almost land at will. His biggest attacks were a power right and hard leg kicks.

Ruffy continued to batter Mullarkey at every turn in the first round. He scored spinning head kicks, combinations upstairs, and badly had Mullarkey hurt. That’s about the time Din Thomas chimed in from cageside and proceeded to compare Ruffy to a young “Notorious.” It seemed like a far-fetched comparison, but moments later Ruffy was able to rush in and put the finishing touches on a violent TKO.

Check out the final moments below and let us know if you think Ruffy showed any similarities to an up-and-coming Conor McGregor:

Alessandro Costa started off UFC 301 with a bang earlier tonight (Sat., May 4, 2024) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when the flyweight powerhouse stopped Kevin Borjas with a vicious second-round TKO (leg kicks and punches).

Costa was coming off a decision loss to Steve Erceg, who is headlining tonight’s UFC 301 PPV card opposite UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja, so this was a key moment for “Nono” to show what he’s truly made of. Borjas proved to be one tough cookie in a debut loss to Joshua Van last November, but he didn’t hold up as well in his scrap with Costa to open the UFC 301 card.

Costa mostly had his way with Borjas in the first round and even had him staggered for a moment in the final seconds of the frame. Borjas was able to recover early into the second round, but Costa opened up with whipping leg kicks that immediately stalled Borjas. He was a sitting duck as Costa dug in leg kick after leg kick, eventually forcing Borjas to the canvas. Borjas was able to return to his feet, though, only to suffer more leg kicks. He eventually went down again and that’s when Costa rained down heavy punches for the TKO finish.

It was an impressive performance for Costa, who now pushes his UFC record to 2-2, and a great way to start UFC’s return to Brazil. Check out some highlights below:
