Joanderson Brito - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Snaps brief losing streak Brito defeated Isaac Thomson via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Fresh off back-to-back decision losses to Pat Sabatini (unanimous) and William Gomis (split), Brito needed to do whatever was necessary to emerge with a victory. Facing a late-notice opponent in Thomson, he leaned on his grappling to an extreme level. Brito turned eight successful takedowns and 7:59 worth of control time into a tight decision win. The reason the fight remained so close is because Thomson refused to settle and constantly worked to improve his position. The Brazilian has never had much success against better competition, but Brito's 6-2 record in his past eight fights dating back to April 2022 is quite strong.

No-shows co-main event loss Brito lost to Pat Sabatini via unanimous decision (26-30, 26-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Brito was the victim of a poor judges decision in a fight against Frenchman William Gomis in Paris in September. Now, he's riding a two-fight losing streak after one of the most lopsided three-round decisions you will ever see. Brito is a big, strong guy with reasonable grappling skills. That didn't stop Sabatini from landing 4-of-5 takedowns and an insane 13:47 worth of control time. Brito was credited with three significant strikes. There's a reasonable chance this was nothing more than a terribly stylistic matchup for the Brazilian, but this performance doesn't inspire much confidence moving forward.
