Lucas Fernando is a new name to watch in the light heavyweight division after he dismantled and then destroyed Rafael Tobias on the UFC 330 prelims on Saturday night.
Training under a pair of legends in Pedro Rizzo and Andre Pederneiras, Fernando definitely has plenty of experience to draw upon even though it was his octagon debut. Fernando showed patience and precision as he blasted Tobias with a variety of strikes including a nasty jab that earned him a knockdown.
Finally in the third round, Fernando had Tobias guessing with his every move and that's when he unleashed a devastating knee up the middle that blasted his fellow Brazilian in the body. Tobias has a delayed reaction but he soon grimaced in pain before crumbling to the canvas where the referee rushed in to stop the fight.
The end came at 1:10 in the third round.
"Thanks to Mick Maynard for putting me here along with my manager Jason House," Fernando said after his win. "Whoever they put in the fight, I'll be ready to go."
