This Tuesday (25), in Las Vegas (USA), the athlete made no mention of Mario Piazzon, Jailton Malhadinho 's training partner at 'Galpão da Luta', and finished him in 50 seconds. As could not be otherwise, Dana White approved of the 'Bear's' performance and rewarded him with a contract with the UFC.

The fight had barely begun when it was over. In his first move in the octagon, Piazzon attempted a takedown and pushed his opponent against the cage. While defending, Uriel locked in a standing guillotine choke and quickly finished his opponent, who fell unconscious. It's worth noting that this was the second chance for the Brazilians in the Contender Series. Taking advantage of the opportunity with flying colors, Mario couldn't contain his emotion. Now, the athlete becomes the newest addition to the UFC heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg).
