Jiu-jitsu legend, Marcus Buchecha He disappointed again in the world's biggest MMA organization. At UFC Vegas 116, an event held this Saturday (25), the Brazilian was no match for Ryan spann And he suffered from his power. So much so that the athlete was brutally knocked out by the American in the second round.

To make matters worse, Buchecha is still winless in the UFC, frustrating those who imagined him having success in the octagon. So far, he has had three fights in the world's largest MMA organization, with two losses and one draw. As if that weren't enough, Spann, a light heavyweight (up to 93 kg), agreed to fight the Brazilian at the last minute and, even coming from a lower weight class and without a proper training camp, isolated him at heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg).

Marcus BuchechaThe 36-year-old is a multi-time jiu-jitsu champion and one of the best fighters in the history of the sport, but he is having trouble adapting to MMA. In the sport, the Brazilian began his career in 2021 and built a record consisting of five wins, all by stoppage (four by submission and one by knockout), three losses and one draw.

Buchecha gets tired and is isolated by Spann.

Buchecha started the fight by landing a good low kick on Spann. In response, Spann landed a straight right on Buchecha. Quickly, Buchecha went for a takedown, but couldn't get Spann to the ground. While defending, Spann landed powerful punches to Buchecha's face and didn't shy away from the ground, remaining on top of him. With the fight back on its feet, Buchecha grabbed Spann and took him down. Calmly, Spann escaped the position. Again, Buchecha tried for a takedown, but was unsuccessful. Buchecha surprised Spann by attacking with a powerful low kick and then tried a foot lock, but Spann defended and landed punches and knees from above.

In the second round, Buchecha unintentionally poked Spann in the eye and was reprimanded twice by the referee. Then, Buchecha attempted two takedowns on Spann, who defended himself. In the striking exchanges, Spann, at ease, displayed his full power and, with a straight punch, isolated Buchecha, who fell unconscious.
