The card was a huge organizational effort done by promoter Sampson Lewkowicz together with Tello Box, televised live in Latin America on TyC Sports.

Not much action was unfolding in the fight other than the more aggressive stance of the porteño Argentinian till about a the 60 second mark in round two a crushing bomb hit the Brazilian fighter right in his ear, rocking him rough to the canvas with a dramatic delayed effect that momentarily stiffed his legs.
