The second edition of WebFight Combat lived up to expectations and provided a Sunday night with great MMA fights. The big highlights of the night were Pedro Nobre, who returned to winning ways after his time in the UFC, and Ana Maria India, former participant in the reality show “No Limite”, who won the women's bantamweight belt.
Pedro Nobre knocks out Eduardo Kiko in a busy fight
The most anticipated clash of the event did not fall below expectations. Former UFC Pedro Pedro gradually dominated the fight against Eduardo Kiko, showing why he is one of the best on the national scene in the flyweight division. After a balanced and busy start, Pedro set a very strong pace on top and on the ground and achieved a technical knockout, winning the much-desired gold-plated belt with Swarovski crystals, from the same UFC supplier. In the end, “Pedrinho” remembered the troubled exit from the UFC and the difficulties he went through until his long-awaited return to winning ways.
“A lot of people said bad things about me, a lot of things based on guesswork, when I left the UFC. I became depressed. But, after the training period in Thailand, I received an invitation to fight in this event, which was wonderful, my mind changed. I'm very happy with this victory, Kiko was a tough opponent. The victory had even more value”, celebrated the new belt holder.
India enters to the sound of funk and destroys Bete Tavares
One of the best-known MMA fighters in Brazil, Ana Maria India showed that she is completely recovered from the injuries that have plagued her in recent years. She entered to the sound of the funk song “She doesn't walk, she parades” and displayed talent towards Bete Tavares, showing calmness to take the fight to the ground and finish with an armbar, doing justice to her world-famous jiu-jitsu. She received the belt from the hands of Jéssica “Bate-Estaca”, originally her opponent, but who had to leave the event after signing with the UFC.
“I won with a submission, nothing could have been better for me. I'm a jiu-jitsu specialist, I love this sport. I really like boxing too, I even wanted to box, but the fight ended up on the ground and jiu-jitsu took over, it's running through my veins”, said Ana Maria India shortly after the fight.
