On top, André got to work and almost reached the submission, but saw the North American make the save.

The grappling game, Minas Gerais' flagship game, returned to action in the second stage. With ease, Sergipano made the progression on the ground and reached mount. Hall, on the other hand, only defended himself and appeared tired. In the final stretch, André made the transition to his back, in addition to trying an armbar submission, but saw the North American explode.

Without taking any risks, André once again dominated on the ground. On top, he landed good punches and returned to Hall's back, but chose not to take any risks, took the fight to a decision and came out with his arms raised in the duel against the 'Ambulance Man'.
