UFC Fight Night 144 was a hell of an event as it was controversy free, with no early stoppage and most fights ended via KO/TKO or Submission.
The main event saw Marlon Moraes win over Raphael Assuncao in the first round via Guillotine Choke.
The co-main event was the most awaited by fight fans as Brazilian superstar Jose Aldo was fighting.
Jose Aldo won the fight via 2nd round TKO over Renato Moicano.
Many fighters congratulated Jose Aldo over the win and among such fighters was Conor McGregor.
Though Conor didn’t congratulate Aldo but acknowledged the atmosphere after Jose emerged as the winner.
Conor tweeted, “What an amazing atmosphere at UFC Brazil tonight.
I would LOVE to compete there for all the passionate Brazilian fans at some stage of my career.
I was so close to securing a bout in Rio last year. It was essentially a done deal.
Maybe next time.
Ui Vai Morrer!!!! I’m still here.“

The former lightweight champion, Rafael Dos Anjos replied to Conor tweet and said, “We have unfinished business, we got close to get it done twice. You pick the weightclass #RDA #Brasil #JesusFirst.“
