Ufc Fight Night Borralho Vs Cannonier

Caio Borralho has successfully entered the top five rankings of the UFC Middleweight division after a significant victory against former title challenger Jared Cannonier at UFC Fight Night held at the Apex in Las Vegas. Borralho’s win, a unanimous decision with scores of 49-45, 49-45, and 48-46 from the judges, enhances his unbeaten record in the UFC to 7-0.

Following the match, Borralho expressed his determination to be recognized as a leading contender in the division and stated, ‘I am the new face [of the division]. On Tuesday, I want to see my name ranked in the top five.’ Throughout the fight, Borralho engaged in a competitive matchup with Cannonier, who managed to inflict damage and opened a cut under Borralho’s right eye in the fourth round.

Despite this adversity, Borralho displayed impressive striking, outlanding Cannonier significantly with total strikes recorded at 141-84. His effective use of leg kicks early in the contest played a crucial role, forcing Cannonier to switch his stance as early as the first round. In the final round, Borralho capitalized on his momentum, dropping Cannonier with a left hand, although the fight ultimately went to the judges.

In a historic moment earlier in the event, Gerald Meerschaert achieved a significant milestone by surpassing Anderson Silva’s middleweight record for the most finishes in the division, achieving his 12th finish against Edmen Shahbazyan with an arm-triangle choke submission late in the second round.

The event was part of an action-packed night featuring several notable fights, including a first-round stoppage by Michael Morales against Neil Magny, marking a substantial moment in Morales’ career as he improves to 5-0 in the UFC. Mairon Santos and Ryan Loder also secured victories in their respective tournaments, adding to the excitement of the evening.
