THE FIGHT

Very aggressively. Joanderson started the duel 'a mile a minute' and in the first few seconds he landed a cross that shook his rival. The 'Tubarão' took advantage of the good moment and stuck to his rival, achieving the takedown. On top, Joanderson hesitated and left his leg exposed, which caused Wilson to catch the Brazilian's knee and come close to finishing. Tubarão managed to escape the submission, started hitting his rival from above with ground and pound and forced the referee to stop the fight.
