He also earned additional 50.000$ for Performance of the night!
Jacare is 10-2 since coughing up his Strikeforce middleweight title to Luke Rockhold by way of unanimous decision back in late 2011. His only two losses during that span have come against Yoel Romero (split decision) and Robert Whittaker (technical knockout).
The headkick took place in minute 4 of round 1.
BOOM. All over jacare KO’s brunson!… maybe a tad early but i think a good stoppage protect the fighter so he can fight another day! #UFCCharlotte pic.twitter.com/Zz485dZwDx

Sloth Jiu-Jitsu: you can be slow and unathletic and still kick butt in Jiu-Jitsu.
