Mário Pinto VS Felipe Franco

Mário Pinto maintained his undefeated record, but he had to grind out a grueling, low-action decision against Felipe Franco to do so. Normally known for his highlight-reel knockouts, Pinto took a surprisingly cautious approach, seemingly disinterested in engaging in striking exchanges. Franco failed to mount any significant offense of his own, allowing Pinto to take over. In the final round, Pinto spammed takedowns and relied heavily on clinch control against the fence to secure the rounds safely, walking away with a unanimous 29-28 decision.
