The fight
The fight began with Mutante taking the initiative, closing the distance and seeking the clinch. Bodão managed to free himself from his opponent's hold and resume striking in the center of the Octagon. With ease in his striking and with greater reach, Cezar tried the first plastic blow with a round kick, typical of capoeira, but the entry was empty.

But soon after, a very powerful high kick applied by Mutante, connected with the side of Bodão's head, who was already knocked out.
After waking up from the knockout, Bodão, visibly stunned, asked Wanderlei Silva whether the fight would continue, as he was feeling well. However, Wand responded with: “It’s over, it’s over…”, said the coach, with Thiago bursting into tears soon after.
Wanderlei recognizes Mutante's talent
Cezar Mutant entered the TUF Brasil house known for being friends with Vitor belfort, but after reaching the final, winning three fights before the end, Wanderlei Silva, coach of the rival team, recognized the fighter's merit. Wand had already said in the pre-fight interview that if Mutante won the duel against Bodão he would hug the athlete from the rival team.
“I'm here to shake your hand and give you a hug. I even said in the interview that if you beat Bodão, who is the toughest guy in the house, I would do it and congratulate you”, said Wand.
Closing ceremony
With the end of the first season of TUF Brasil, the fighters said goodbye to the house with a small party. In the presence of the coaches, the fighters toasted the end of the first season of the reality show in Brazil.
As a way of showing the good relationship between the fighters during the confinement period, the athletes got into a prank on Gasparzinho, a featherweight who played with everyone during TUF.
“He disturbed everyone, so the crowd decided to tie him up at the end”, said Délson Lead Foot. With that, Gasparzinho was tied with red ribbons and thrown into the air by his friends. Vitor belfort recorded everything on his cell phone. Everything in a party atmosphere.
