The Blackbelt Hunter has claimed another victim. Undefeated middleweight newcomer Rodolfo Vieira remained perfect on Saturday night, defeating opponent Oskar Piechota at UFC Uruguay.
In his main card debut, the 29-year-old Vieira proved his elite ground game could wreak havoc in the middleweight division. Although he opened the fight with some aggressive strikes, it didn't take long for the submission specialist to take Piechota to the mat. Although Piechota successfully defended the submission attempt in the first round, he was unable to do so in the second. Vieira successfully locked in an arm triangle choke that forced Piechota to tap at 4:26 in the second round.
Check out the submission finish below.
With the win, Rio de Janeiro’s Rodolfo Vieira moved to a perfect 6-0 and looks to be a legitimate middlweight contender. Having sustained little damage in the fight, Vieira expressed interest in fighting again before the end of the year.
