Strong effort in debut defeat
Lacerda lost to Cody Stamann via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 283 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Few gave Lacerda a chance as a +300 underdog in his UFC debut, but he performed very well and there is most definitely a case to be made that he deserved to win. When all was said and done, it was the first round that ended up being the difference in the bout. Lacerda's effectiveness dipped considerably in Round 2, but he scored a takedown and 1:34 worth of control time in Round 3 to easily win the final frame. It's surprising not one of the three judges scored the bout for the Brazilian. The 30-year-old submission specialist is a lock to receive another shot with the company after this strong effort.
