The only Brazilian who ended up not winning a contract on Tuesday was Felipe Franco. The midfielder made a balanced fight against Freddy Vidal, but the two tired after the first round and the level decreased. In the end, Vidal still fitted a lion killer and finished Franco. However, their performance was so weak that even with victory, Vidal will need to make one more fight in contending if he wants to sign with the UFC.

The Brazilian almost turned his back on the American, but gradually he was disentangled and, as soon as he was free, released a deadly combination, erasing Blair in a fulminant way.
