In addition to the victory over CB Dollaway and the “Performance of the Night” bonus worth US$50 (approximately R$132), Lyoto Machida took home an impressive record at UFC Barueri, held last Saturday (20): the “Dragão” became the first athlete in UFC history to win two main fights without suffering any blows.
In addition to the quick triumph over Dollaway in Brazilian soil, the other time Machida scored a victory without being hit by his rival was in October last year, when he knocked out former teammate Mark Muñoz in the main fight of UFC Fight Night 30, in England. .
If it represented a record for the winner Lyoto Machida, the main fight of UFC Barueri also marked CB Dollaway's name in history. The sixth fighter to miss a main fight in Ultimate, Dollaway became the 100th athlete in the organization's history to not hit his opponent even once in the fight.
Silvério suffers the latest knockout in history
But not all the milestones achieved on the night of fights at Ginásio José Correia were favorable to the Brazilians. Knocked out by Russian Rashid Magomedov just three seconds before the end of the fight on the main card, at 4:57 of the third round, Elias Silvério from São Paulo became the victim of the latest knockout in a three-round fight to date in UFC history.
The setback for “Xuxu”, as the Brazilian is known, surpassed John Howard's knockout of Dennis Hallman by two seconds, at 4:55 of the third round, in the TUF 10 Finale.
