Brazilian participation in the UFC Las Vegas 61 started off on the right foot. Or rather, with the right knee. The country's first representative at the event, lightweight (up to 70,3kg) Joaquim Silva, the “Netto BJJ” knocked out Jesse Ronson with a beautiful flying knee. After shaking his rival with the same blow at the end of the first round, the Goiás native repeated the dose in the second round and concluded the job with a sequence of “sledgehammers” to achieve victory.
As a result, Netto BJJ wins again in Ultimate after almost four years. The Brazilian was coming off two consecutive defeats in the organization, in addition to successive injuries that took him out of action for much of the last few years.
