The fight
Right at the beginning of the first round, Jacob Holyman-Tague managed to land a right uppercut on the Brazilian's face, and then applied a knee that opened a cut just below Rodolfo's left eye.
After the opponent's hard-hitting blows, the Brazilian entered the double leg and started to put the fight down. Tague managed to get up on many occasions, but Rodolfo didn't let go of him, until he left the duel on the ground and went to the back. Working his strikes well, Vieira found the right moment to land the rear naked choke. Which made the Australian hit.
“The Black Belt Hunter” Rudolph Vieira submits Jacob Holyman-Tague as expected, an RNC pushing his record to 4-0. Regarded by many as his generation's greatest heavyweight gi grappler, he is a four-time IBJJF world champion and one-time ADCC winner. # ACB88 pic.twitter.com/6knvC1E2eh
