I was born for this, I came to stay. I’m a guy who accepts challenges, I like to face the best ones, come on, I’m ready“, said Gregory Rodrigues, still inside the octagon after his victory in the UFC.
BRAZILIANS SHINE!
The Brazilians shone at UFC 279 and achieved great results. Who was present and fought during the dawn of last Saturday, 10, to Sunday, 11, was Jaílton Malhadinho, Norma Dumont and Johnny Walker. The three did not come from a great phase in Ultimate, but managed to improve their performance and left with an important victory.
Who drew attention during the last UFC 279 was Johnny Walker. The fighter took responsibility and landed a great submission on Ion Cutelaba and won the fight with 4min37s. After the fight, the Brazilian stayed with his coach watching the event backstage, but that was not allowed and the two were expelled by the organization.
On social media, Johnny Walker’s coach revealed the event. The two left the event the way they ended the match. Important to point out that the victory against Ion Cutebala was fundamental for the fighter: “The UFC came and kicked us out. There are no tickets for us and it is not allowed backstage to watch“.
