At the event held on October 5th, in Melbourne (AUS), Bulldoguinho had a special moment, debuting for one of the biggest MMA companies in the world. The fight, however, did not go as expected. Bruno ended up surprised by his opponent and succumbed to a submission in the third round.

The incident with the German with Lebanese roots, however, could remove the negative result from the São Paulo native's official cartel. If the result becomes a 'no contest', Bruno will once again have three setbacks in his career and will have no defeats within the UFC.
