The opening of the main card of the UFC 276, an event held this Saturday (2), ended on a bitter note. In the second round, while the duel remained balanced, the Brazilian suffered a finger in the eye from Sean O'Malley and was unable to continue the fight. After medical attention, referee Jason Herzog judged it as unintentional and declared the clash as 'no result'.
Thus, Pedrinho is unable to win again in the organization and goes through a series of three fights – two defeats and a 'no contest'. He has 19 triumphs, seven setbacks and one 'no result' fight.
O'Malley, on the other hand, is unable to make a leap in the bantamweight category (up to 61,2kg.) and has 15 positive results and one negative, in addition to the frustrating outcome in the UFC 276.
The fight
Both athletes started by kicking low. O'Malley measured the distance to enter the range of action, while Munhoz aimed to approach through combinations. Pedro kicked well in the calf and saw his rival become more static in the octagon. Sean, in turn, provoked the Brazilian and landed blows to the waistline before the end of the round.
With a plastic style, O'Malley landed the greatest number of blows at the beginning of the round, in addition to finding distance well with punches and straight kicks. In an attempt to get closer to strike, Pedro received a poke in the eye and, after a doctor's assessment, he did not continue in the fight.
