— ESPN MMA (@espnmma) November 5, 2023The UFC Fight Night 231 co-main event was a tale of two rounds.
Highly-touted Dana White’s Contender Series alum Gabriel Bonfirm controlled the opening stanza, but Nicolas Dalby turned up the pressure in Round 2, eventually overwhelming his foe for a technical knockout victory at the 4:33 mark of the period. Those momentum swings helped Dalby and Bonfim earn “Fight of the Night” and $50,000 apiece for their efforts in an entertaining welterweight scarp.
