LAS VEGAS – Brunno Ferreira began his 2024 competition calendar exactly how he wanted.
Saturday at UFC Fight Night 234, Ferreira (11-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) bashed Phil Hawes’ face with brutal knockout blows en route to a first-round TKO victory. The relief of the victory for him can not be understated.
“I put a weight on myself,” Ferreira told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “This was a weight that was lifted off my back. To actually start the year like this and having the opportunity to start the year like this with a fight like this, it’s very happy. I’m very fortunate. … This is the way I wanted to start my year. This is the way the year is supposed to start.”
