The duel was not a technical masterpiece, far from it. In the first movements, Gabriel lived up to the catchphrase that names him and asked his opponent for peace of mind. Then, both surrendered in open combat. Best for Naylson Oliveira, who knocked down “Vem Tranquilo” with a knee to the face and then landed a triangle to define the fight.

“It was an unforgettable feeling, it will definitely stay with me for the rest of my life. As for the result, credit to Naylson, who proved to be more prepared. There is no excuse. Now it’s time to focus on training and come back stronger. It was an incredible experience and I want to repeat it”, declared the satisfied Gabriel “Vem Tranquilo”.
