Fight Breakdown

Round 1: Sopaj took the center of the Octagon and cut off the cage. With under a minute left, Sopaj secured a clinch against the fence, landed a takedown, and quickly took Cuamba's back. He locked in a neck crank/choke, but Cuamba fought through the pressure to survive the round.

Round 2: Following a brief timeout due to an accidental low blow from Cuamba, Sopaj caught Cuamba with a sharp left counter hook that dropped him to the canvas. As Cuamba attempted to recover, Sopaj unleashed a barrage of ground-and-pound punches. When Cuamba rolled over to defend, Sopaj swiftly transitioned to his back and locked in the fight-ending rear-naked choke. [1, 2, 3]
