Claudeci Brito made a violent return to the Evecon RAJU cage, submitting Finland’s Ville Mankinen in just under three minutes of Round 1 with a vicious rear naked choke. This 65.8 kg professional matchup was Brito’s second victory over the 03 Fight Team, following his dominant win over Mankinen’s teammate Walls at RAJU 16.
Brito Outstrikes and Submits Mankinen Despite Weight Gap
Despite giving up size, strength, and weight (Mankinen missed weight by 900g), Brito’s experience and BJJ black belt pedigree proved too much. After bloodying Mankinen on the feet, Brito dragged the fight to the canvas and secured the choke with trademark composure and finishing instinct.
