The night of Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 300 This Saturday (13) was marked by a bitter taste. The Brazilian, who was looking to resume his upward trajectory and get closer to a new chance at the lightweight belt (up to 70,3kg), found a very tough opponent in Arman Tsarukyan and ended up suffering a split decision defeat.
The first round was a tale of dominance and near redemption for Do Bronx. Charles went in search of the submission in the first few seconds, squeezing Tsarukyan's neck with a guillotine choke and then looking for mount to throw powerful elbows.

The Armenian, however, showed great resistance and managed to recover, sweeping to the base and frustrating the Brazilian's attacks. In a controversial moment, Charles landed an illegal kick to Tsarukyan's face, but the referee chose not to punish the former champion.
In the second round, Tsarukyan gave back, using precise kicks from the waist line to undermine Do Bronx's guard. Then, the Armenian went for the takedown and, from above, threw brutal elbows that opened the Brazilian's eyebrow. Charles, despite feeling the blows, resisted bravely and even sought the submission with a triangle at the end of the round, but Tsarukyan proved implacable in his defense. An electrifying third round and the consecration of resilience
The final round was electrifying, with both fighters looking to define the fight. Charles, pressed against the fence, gave in to the takedown and saw Tsarukyan working on top, looking for the submission. The Brazilian, in a final act of bravery, resisted the hand triangle and defended himself masterfully until the final bell sounded.
