Brazilian Thiago “Minu” Meller found his way back to victory this weekend in his homeland. In action at X-Fest MMA, the lightweight submitted Argentine Gabriel Soule in the main fight of the event held this Saturday (14) at the Sociedade Hebraica gym, in Porto Alegre.

Showing more initiative in the fight, “Minu” neutralized Soule's attacks, putting into practice his diverse arsenal of submissions. After resisting the Brazilian's technical superiority from the first minutes of the fight, the Argentine was forced to withdraw from the contest after being caught in a fair guillotine applied by the athlete from the Combat Rider/MFT team in the third round of the confrontation.

Already competing for the middleweight belt of the Associação Gaúcha de Artes Martiais (AGAM), Douglas Del Rio did not encounter any difficulties in his first title defense. The fighter dominated the actions of the fight against Gustavo “Porco” and was declared the winner by unanimous decision of the judges.
