FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – What started off as a bad night for Caio Magalhaes ended in triumph before a raucous hometown crowd on Saturday, as the Brazilian bounced back from a brutal first round to defeat Karlos Vemola via rear-naked choke submission at 2:49 of the second frame. The middleweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It streamed on Facebook ahead of a main card on FUEL TV. Right away it seemed as though Magalhaes might be in trouble, as Vemola spent almost the entire first round shrugging off one submission attempt after another while jackhammering Magalhaes with punches and elbows from the top. Magalhaes returned to his corner bloodied and battered after the first five minutes, but came out strong in the second and quickly turned the tables on Vemola, planting him on his back and eventually locking up the choke. With the win, Magalhaes (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) bounces back after his first career loss to Buddy Roberts in his UFC debut this past June. Vemola (9-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC) has now dropped two in a row dating back to his submission loss to Francis Carmont this past July.
