The main fight of the night was also a battle of generations. At 20 years old, Limberguer celebrated his seventh victory in his professional record of eight fights, but his life was not easy. Facing the experienced Jamil Silveira, who was fighting in the 59th fight of his career, Pedro Rizzo's pupil benefited from the point taken from Silveira in the second round, after the Ceará native held the cage railing twice.
“I thank Rizzo for bringing me to Rio de Janeiro and giving me a shelter, an excellent place to train. I was willing to exchange blows with him standing, but I was prepared if the fight ended up on the ground. I dedicated myself a lot to achieve this victory, and I want to dedicate it to my mother and my friends from Porto Alegre”, celebrated the gaucho.
The fight that preceded the main fight of the event was also a great attraction. Marked by frank exchanges during the three rounds, with both athletes looking for a knockout the entire time, the duel between Fábio Nativo and Joel Soares provoked great euphoria among the audience present. The balance inside the cage was clear with the majority draw that the side judges marked on the scorecards.
Overwhelming knockout and early submissions excite the crowd
One of the most applauded and contagious fights of the night was that of Jhonata Silva, an athlete from Nova União, who largely dominated Danilo Gomes, from the Pejor team. Using flying knees, Silva managed some knockdowns until, in the middle of the second round, the central referee had to interrupt the sequence applied by the young fighter.
Also noteworthy are the clashes between Marco Nenê against Rafael Bernardo and José Miltinho Farias against Alexandre Cirne, which ended before the opening minute. The first culminated in Rafael's triumph by technical knockout, while the second fight was the fastest at Shooto Brasil 55 and ended 18 seconds into the first round. A series of submissions marked the start of the show, with the first three fights ending this way. Daniel Hortegas, Matheus Malta and Buno Polegar submitted, respectively, Victor Siqueira, Murilo Marques and Victor Sombra.
