<p>Amazonas is one of the states to have produced the most top-flight fighters in Brazil – beasts like José Aldo, Ronaldo Jacaré, Wallid Ismail, Xande and Saulo Ribeiro and so many others. The tradition of the land is Jiu-Jitsu, and there was no lack of it on a gala evening of fighting that included Royler Gracie&#8217;s farewell MMA fight.</p>
<p>The Gracie was unable to outdo Masakatsu Ueda in the main event. He lost by split decision, with the Japanese fighter controlling the action. Royler had a good moment in the first round, landing a takedown. But Ueda managed to work his way out and then control the tempo with solid kicks. He deserved to win by unanimous decision but a win is a win.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m so happy to have fought a phenomenon,” said Ueda on Brazilian television channel Combate.</p>
<p>Royler (5w, 5l, 1d) bids farewell to the rings having fought one of the best fighters in Japan at present. At 45 years of age, the Gracie fought for three rounds against the 33-year-old Ueda (14w, 1l, 2d).</p>
<p>“I want to apologize to the public, but just being here, at my age, is a lot harder than being in front of a TV. My endurance wasn&#8217;t what it once was but I honored what I&#8217;ve done my whole life,” he said.</p>
<p>“My opponent is a dangerous one; I know him well. Regardless of the outcome, I ended things just right,” said Royler in closing, adding that he would like to see more support for Brazilian athletes.</p>
<p>In the other fights on the card, Antonio Braga Neto wasn&#8217;t in the main event but his win over Maiquel Falcão was definitely the best fight of the night. Braga was practically knocked out in the first round, literally driving on automatic, having taken an endless stream of strikes from his opponent&#8217;s heavy hands. The second round saw the black belt go for the takedown and use the Jiu-Jitsu savvy that has won him world championships, passing guard and finishing with a tight armbar.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m not just Brazilian, I&#8217;m a &#8216;caboclo&#8217; (term for indigenous people) from Amazonas!” He shouted, to a delirious crowd.</p>
<p>Ronys Torres took just 47 seconds in knocking out Drew Fickett, notching his eighth back-to-back win; Daniel Acácio put away Sergio Junior by knockout in 2:50 minutes. Marcos “Capitão” Alexandre used his Jiu-Jitsu to earn a unanimous decision over also black belt Daniel “Roupinol” Aguiar. The low point of the evening was Paulão Filho&#8217;s draw with Japanese Olympic judoka Satoshi Ishii. Even Paulo didn&#8217;t buy the draw:</p>
<p>“I must confess that I feel I didn&#8217;t win. But I&#8217;m ready to fight him again to settle this matter,” admitted Paulão, who was applauded for his sincerity.</p>
<p>In the all international bout, Jordan Smith overcame former UFC fighter Karo Parisyan. Also noteworthy was George Clay&#8217;s submission win over Anthony Birchack.</p>

<p>O Amazonas é um dos estados que formou mais lutadores de ponta no Brasil, feras como José Aldo, Ronaldo Jacaré, Wallid Ismail, Xande e Saulo Ribeiro, entre tantos outros. A tradição da terra é o Jiu-Jitsu, e não foi isso o que faltou numa noite de gala, com direito à despedida de Royler Gracie no MMA.</p>
<p>Na luta principal, o Gracie não venceu Masakatsu Ueda. Perdeu por decisão dividida, num combate controlado pelo japonês. Royler teve boa chance na primeira parcial, quando derrubou. Mas Ueda saiu do sufoco e controlou com bons chutes. Merecia até a vitória por decisão unânime, mas isso é o que menos importa.</p>
<p>“Fico super contente por ter lutado contra um fenômeno”, destacou Ueda no canal Combate.</p>
<p>Royler (5v-5d-1e) se despede dos ringues contra um dos melhores lutadores da atualidade no Japão. Aos 45 anos, o Gracie lutou três rounds contra Ueda (14v-1d-2e), de 33 anos.</p>
<p>“Queria me desculpar com o público, mas estar aqui dentro, na minha idade, é muito mais difícil que estar atrás de uma TV. Não estava no maior gás, mas tentei honrar o que fiz a vida inteira”, disse.</p>
<p>“Meu adversário é um oponente perigoso, o conheço de outros carnavais. Independentemente do resultado, fechei com chave de ouro”, encerrou Royler, que pediu mais apoio aos atletas brasileiros.</p>
<p>Nos outros combates, Antonio Braga Neto não fez a luta principal, mas a vitória contra Maiquel Falcão foi, certamente, a melhor da noite. Braga ficou praticamente nocauteado no primeiro round, literalmente no automático, após uma série de socos interminável do oponente, dono de uma mão pesada. No segundo assalto, o faixa-preta tratou de derrubar. Usou o bom Jiu-Jitsu, de campeão mundial, para passar a guarda e finalizar com uma justa chave de braço.</p>
<p>“Além de brasileiro, sou caboclo do Amazonas, porra!”, gritou, para o delírio de todos no ginásio.</p>
<p>Ronys Torres precisou de apenas 47s para nocautear Drew Fickett, oitavo triunfo seguido, e Daniel Acácio de 2min50 para aplicar o revés por nocaute em Sergio Junior. Marcos Alexandre, o Capitão, usou o Jiu-Jitsu para bater em decisão unânime o também faixa-preta Daniel Aguiar, o Roupinol. Decepção foi a luta entre Paulão Filho e o judoca campeão olímpico Satoshi Ishii. Nem Paulada engoliu o empate:</p>
<p>“Confesso que achei que não venci. Mas estou pronto para lutarmos novamente e resolver essa parada”, admitiu Paulão, que recebeu o aplauso do público pela sinceridade.</p>
<p>Na luta 100% internacional, Jordan Smith bateu o ex-UFC Karo Parisyan. Vale destacar a bela finalização também de George Clay sobre Anthony Birchack.</p>
