Rodrigo Sezinando earned his first UFC win by stopping Theodor Berggren on a cut in the second round. After a back-and-forth opening round, Sezinando took Berggren’s back, advanced to mount and landed ground-and-pound that opened a severe cut. The referee halted the fight at the end of the round.

By the Numbers
  • Round 2, 5:00: official time of the stoppage.
  • More than 1 year: time since Sezinando’s previous fight.
Yes, But

The finish came by doctor’s stoppage due to the cut, rather than a knockout or submission.

Bottom Line

Sezinando turned a competitive UFC debut into a decisive first victory by combining back control with damaging ground strikes.
