A spinning, cinematic kick that was worth the price of admission. With this perfect blow, Cairo Rocha, the “Lightning”, knocked out Chicão Neves and secured another victory in the first round and confirmed the good phase of his career.
Another highlight of the show was Chris Wilson, an experienced North American athlete with a stint in the UFC, who also dominated the entire first round, controlled Tom Oliveira's movements and closed the fight at 4min22s, with a rear naked choke, to the delight of the audience who followed the BRFC Desafio dos Imortais, this Friday, 16th, in Ribeirão Preto.

Ricardo Abreu, “Demented”, who leads the legend’s ground training Tito Ortiz, achieved the quickest victory of the event, by knockout, just 24 seconds into the fight. A straight right to Leo Rocha's chin guaranteed the jiu-jitsu world champion's second MMA victory.
Another one who did well was André Astolfo “Robinho”. In his first fight in MMA, the young 22-year-old fighter remained on the attack the entire time and achieved victory by technical knockout, at 2:41 of the 2nd round.
In the fight valid for the event's belt, Brazilian Alexandre Zaneti did not have a happy night. The then BRFC champion tried, but was faced with the experienced Valter Luiz, who managed to lock in a kneebar and win the belt at 1:51 of the 2nd round.
