Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos was a follow-up punch or two away from pulling off one of the biggest comebacks of the year.
Fakhretdinov, who entered the fight on a 20-bout win streak, fell in love with his fist and went away from his wrestling background in Round 2. This allowed dos Santos enough time to find and home for his snapping lead body kick.
Petrino finished his last fight via submission but showed off his wrestling with a thunderous powerbomb in Round 1. Bukauskas , looking to preserve his four-fight win streak, tried to open up in the second stanza and catch Petrino off guard with a long lead left hook but Petrino was too quick. “Cabuloso” caught Bakauskas with a short left hook that swiftly ended the Baltic Gladiator’s night.
