The two fighters began the fight exchanging feints in the center of the octagon, with Chikadze landing a strong left straight, only to be countered by two crosses from the Brazilian. The Georgian gained the upper hand after landing several kicks to the midsection and head, but slipped and found himself on his back on the ground, with Tubarão taking advantage of the position to inflict significant damage with hammerfists.

He left his opponent completely stunned, forcing referee Frank Trigg to stop the fight when the clock showed one minute and 57 seconds of the first round.

In his interview with Joe Rogan inside the octagon, the Brazilian fighter expressed respect for his opponent and thanked him for the opportunity to face him. Furthermore, he requested the Performance of the Night bonus and showed interest in participating in the commentator's podcast, the biggest in the world.
