After his 1st win in March in the Heavyweight division Marcelo just got his 2nd MMA victory at CFC MMA event on Dec 9 at Sydney Luna Park, this time in the Light-Heavyweight division.
The fight started with some stand up exchange and Marcelo took down his opponent quickly to press him against the cage and drop some heavy punches and elbows from the top opening some cuts on the adversary face. When Marcelo decided to pass the guard the opponent pushed him away standing up and after another good exchange was time to Marcelo fall on the bottom where he got also a big elbow which opened a gap in his forehead in the end of the round.
The second round started with another punch and kick exchange and Marcelo going for the throw but falling on the bottom with the opponent in his guard. Marcelo tried a triangle switching to an omoplata to sweep and end on side control. From there on Marcelo used punches and elbows to slow down the adversary then going for an Americana lock and mounting for a rain of punches and elbows until the opponent tapping.
