Fight Of The Night: Benoît Saint-Denis vs Thiago Moises
Lightweights brought the heat on the main card, with both Benoît Saint-Denis and Thiago Moises standing toe-to-toe.
Saint-Denis was able to slowly break Moises over the course of the bout, landing a particularly devastating elbow that split Moises open in the first round. In the second round he used his striking to set up some great clinch work, which he parlayed into a takedown. Once he got Moises to the canvas he poured on the strikes, forcing Moises to cover up until the referee called an end to the fight.
It was Saint-Denis’ fourth straight finish and was a perfect way to cap off another beautiful performance in his home country.
