The Brazilian started the fight well, surrounding the Russian and trying to space out combinations, but he accepted Eldarov's clinch, which managed to get the takedown. From then on, working in Rasputin's guard, the Russian lightweight remained patient and, when he found an opening, threw several elbows, knocking out his opponent in the first round.
With the setback, Henrique Rasputin, the only Brazilian on the Brave 6 card, has his record moved to 12 wins and now five losses.

“This message is for Mohammed Shahid, the president of this great organization. You promised me that if I won this fight, I would get a title shot in my next fight. I want to win the beautiful Brave belt, give me this chance”, commented the Russian.
Lebanese wins and provokes Macarrão
Welterweight Mohammad Fakhreddine overcame Polish Lukasz Witos in a catchweight duel up to 81 kg., after the former UFC fighter Leonardo Macarrão not accept the fight with the Lebanese because “The Latest” didn’t make weight.
After the first round knockout of substitute Witos, who accepted the fight a day in advance, Fakhreddine provoked Macarrão.
“I want to send a message to my original opponent, I know he is here watching this. A pound! You didn't fight me over a pound! You could have accepted the fight, but you turned yellow”, said the Lebanese.
