UFC Brasilia

Earlier tonight (Sat. March 14, 2020) UFC Brasilia took place at the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil.

The event was held to an empty venue as the decision was made not to let fans attend to protect their safety due to the Coronavirus epidemic. In the main event of the evening, we saw Charles Oliveira extend his winning streak to seven after submitting Kevin Lee via Guillotine Choke in the third round. Not only did this add to Oliveira’s record number of submissions inside the UFC but also provided him a $50,000 performance of the night bonus for doing so. Outside of the main event, many highlights warranted bonuses.

In the co-main event, we saw a clash between two of the most decorated grapplers in the UFC, Demian Maia and Gilbert Burns. This contest was exactly as advertised with the two engaging in a grappling exchange early in the first round. Burns did a fantastic job of defending and eventually escaping Maia’s submission threats separating and standing back up. Not long after getting back to the feet Burns caught Maia with a shot dropping him flat on his back. Reluctant to inflict any more damage Burns raised his hands however the ref instructed him to keep fighting so he engaged on the ground and finished Maia with punches. The TKO win comes as the first time Maia has been finished since 2009. The performance secured Burns a $50,000 performance of the night bonus.

Fight of the night went to the women’s flyweight bout between
Mayra Bueno Silva and Maryna Moroz. The two engaged in a three-round war taking
place both on the feet and on the ground. Moroz threw a barrage of strikes
throughout the contest while Bueno Silva took a more measured approach throwing
fewer strikes but with more power. At the end of the contest, the verdict went
to the judges, all three gave the win to Moroz.

Kevin Lee, Charles Oliveira

ITS TIME! The UFC Brasilia main event is upon us. Kevin Lee and Charles Oliveira are about to thrown down in a catchweight (158.5lb) fight. Originally scheduled at lightweight the bout was thrown in disarray yesterday as Lee missed weight by 2.5lbs. Will it have any bearing on the fight? We’re about to find out…

Round 1: The fight starts quickly Charles Oliveira opens with some unorthodox jumping switch kicks. The Brazilian is pumping the jab well but gets caught by a powerful right hand from Kevin Lee. Oliveira shoots for the takedown and gets it before attacking the leg of Lee. After some scrambling Lee temporarily ends up in half guard before Oliveira again attacks the leg – he’s not letting up but it doesn’t really look close, hes just hanging on right now. Lee gets back to full guard, before Oliveira throws up a triangle choke forcing the scramble. After defending submission attempts for the majority of the round Lee eventually stand ups and unloads some ground and pound to end the first period.

Round 2: Lee starts the round well with a big right hand. Oliveira doesn’t let it bother him and continues to press forward. The Brazilian is throwing big shots including some beautiful uppercuts – he looks to be controlling the fight now. Lee shoots for a takedown after eating more big shots and immediately has to defend a tight arm bar. The American gets to half guard and is looking to control the fight without doing much else. As the clock winds down Lee postures up and throws elbows. Oliveira once again goes for the leg attack but is eating shots as the rounds closes out .

Round 3: Oliveira comes out confident but is taking shots. Lee shoots in for a takedown and the BJJ specialist grabs the neck and has the guillotine choke in deep. Lee clearly taps but protests the stoppage immediately after doing so. Weird ending. Huge win for Oliveira.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Charles Oliveira def. Kevin Lee via submission in round three
