O Jungle Fight There are new champions. In the 74th edition of the event, held on Saturday night (29), in São Paulo, light heavyweight Dirlei 'Mão de Pedra' and middleweight Júnior Alpha beat Matin La Máquina and Douglas Bertazini, respectively, to win the belts.
In addition to two title fights, the Jungle Fight 74 brought another great attraction. Two ex-BBBs as ring girls at the event. The winner of BBB 14, Vanessa Mesquista, and Aline Dahlen, also a member of the 14th edition of the reality show, joined the event's traditional ring girl, Geisa Vitorino.
In the main fight of the night, Dirlei 'Mão de Pedra' won the Brazil x Argentina classic against Martin La Máquina.
The Argentine started the duel by hitting Dirlei directly. Quickly, the Brazilian recovered and grabbed his opponent near the fence. After a few seconds of strength, Dirlei managed the takedown and remained on top for most of the round, striking.
Dirlei came back better for the second round and, right from the start, put the Argentine on his back on the ground again. The inactivity caused judge Alessandro Souza to restart the fight on his feet, but to no avail. The Brazilian cornered his rival against the railing again and after hard knees, he managed to get the takedown. The gaucho remained on top and ended the round with ample dominance.
In the last stage, Dirlei's advantage was even greater. While the Argentine appeared physically tired, the Brazilian continued to move forward and land good shots. After another five minutes of superiority, Dirlei was declared the winner, by unanimous decision, and took the light heavyweight belt of the Jungle Fight.
Junior Alpha scores knockout and wins belt
Born in São Paulo, Douglas Bertazini had the support of the São Paulo fans, who filled the Ibirapuera Complex. However, it was Júnior Alpha from Bahia who took the initiative in the fight and, right away, landed a good kick to his rival's body. Then, the two exchanged a few blows until a well-aimed right hand exploded in Douglas's face, which made him stagger. Sensing the momentum, Alpha went up and with a heavy combination of punches took his opponent to the canvas, 1m06s into the first round.
