During the fight, Henrique set his pace and put Andrade on the ground. The jiu-jitsu black belt managed to land a guillotine that caused his rival to tap out. Thus, the judge ended the confrontation at 1m59s. With the triumph, Luis broke his two-year streak without victories.

Luis Henrique had two stints with WOCS in his professional MMA career. In 2015, KLB made his UFC debut after being knocked out by Francis Ngannou. Afterwards, the Rio native beat Dmitry Smoliakov and Christian Colombo by submission. After a good succession of triumphs, he suffered three consecutive defeats against Marcin tybura, Arjan Singh Bhullar and Ryan spann. As a result, the Brazilian was cut by Ultimate.
