In search of his first knockout in the organization, the Brazilian came inspired for the fight in Barra da Tijuca. Dominant and denying the Scotsman’s takedowns, Caio was accurate with his counter-attacks and, in the second round, ended the fight by applying a beautiful sequence that rocked Craig, until he landed a straight right that put him out.
As a result, the ‘Fighting Nerds’ fighter secured his first win on the fast track in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, with a record of 16-1, 1 SR (6-0 in the UFC). “Bearjaw”, meanwhile, suffered his fourth defeat in his last five bouts, seeing his record stand at 17-8-1.
