Last night, the UFC touched down in sun soaked Fortaleza, Brazil, with UFC Fight Night 106.<\/p>\n
This card was a stacked one as far as Fight Nights go. In the evening’s middleweight main event, we saw former welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum maul former light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort<\/a> to a first-round TKO win. Other highlights of the main card included another highlight-reel Edson Barboza knockout<\/a>, a nice submission win from Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira, and close battles between Bethe Correia and Marion Reneau and Ray Borg and Jussier “Formiga” Da Silva.<\/p>\n The undercard, meanwhile, featured\u00a0some nice wins from talent like Kevin Lee, Joe Soto and Sergio Moraes, as well as the final fight of \u201cThe People\u2019s Warrior\u201d Joshua Burkman, who came up short to the dangerous Michel \u201cTrator\u201d Prazeres.<\/p>\n And then, of course, there was the co-main event, which pitted former Pride Grand Prix winner and UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua against dangerous New Yorker Gian Villante. In this anticipated light heavyweight showdown, Shogun turned back the clock, out-striking his much greener foe to a crackling, third-round TKO win<\/a>.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, Shogun’s win generated some big reactions from the members of the MMA community \u2013 particularly from those who are old enough to remember his dominance in the Pride era.\u00a0Without further ado, here are some of the best reaction’s to his stoppage defeat of Gian Villante.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/CubSwanson\/status\/840796020929773568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/CubSwanson\/status\/840798401268662272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n One for the old school! Beautiful variety of punches. Unbelievable he's still going at this top level of the sport. #Hespect<\/a> #UFCFortaleza<\/a><\/p>\n — Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) March 12, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
