In the co-main event of the UFC São Paulo, the terrifying Gabriel Bonfim faced Nicolas Dalby at welterweight. The Dane won by TKO in the 2nd round.
Round 1: Bonfim starts very strong with aggressive striking. To calm things down, Nicolas Dalby tries to enter into a fight, but without success. It is ultimately the Brazilian who validates the first takedown. Quickly, Gabriel Bonfim takes a dominant position on the ground, and tries to inflict damage on his Danish opponent. With his elbows, ‘Marretinha’ opens Nicolas Dalby in the face.
Round 2: Once again, Bonfim validates a spectacular takedown on Dalby. The Dane came back well and caused some problems for the Brazilian, particularly in striking. ‘Marretinha’ is scarred on the face and shows signs of weakness. Nicolas Dalby takes the opportunity to accelerate and press where it hurts. He delivers a knee strike which rings Bonfim. The Dane finishes the work on the ground and wins by TKO.

In the end, Nicolas ‘Danish Dynamite’ Dalby won by TKO in the 2nd round (4:23).
He is the first to inflict a defeat on the youngest of the Bonfim brothers (15-1 now), and can now look towards the top 15 of the welterweight category in the UFC.
Bad week for the Bonfim family. The eldest of the siblings, Ismael, saw his fight fall through after failing by several kilos at the weigh-in… Subsequently, the little brother suffered his first defeat in a brutal manner. All at home, in Brazil.
