The fight, valid in the light heavyweight category, was expected to be a balanced confrontation between two fighters with different styles. Lima, who has two wins in his professional career, was betting on his aggression and striking to overcome his opponent. Loko, who was making his professional MMA debut, relied on his experience as a jiu-jitsu black belt.
However, the fight didn't last long enough for the two to show their potential. Right at the beginning, Lima attacked Loko with a flying knee, trying to repeat the feat of Jorge masvidal, who knocked out Ben Askren in five seconds in UFC 239.
However, Iury's plan backfired, as Xiko was alert and reacted with a right punch that hit him square in the face, and he fell unconscious. The referee stopped the fight immediately.
The result surprised everyone present at Ginásio Aécio de Borba, who saw one of the fastest and most impressive knockouts in national MMA. Loko celebrated his victory, while Lima needed to be attended to by doctors.
