Drops decision to Jordan Johnson Friday
Fortuna lost to Jordan Johnson via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale on Friday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The Brazilian started slowly and finished slowly. In between he had a pretty decent Round 2 but it ultimately wasn't enough for him to pull out the judge's decision. Fortuna landed a minuscule 14 total strikes between Rounds 1 and 3 combined. He struggled to match the speed of the undefeated Johnson on the feet. Fortuna, who won his UFC debut at heavyweight, was competing at his natural weight class of 205 pounds on Friday.

Finishes Anthony Hamilton in UFC debut
Fortuna won his UFC debut on Saturday, defeating Anthony Hamilton via KO (punch) at 3:10 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night in Houston.
ANALYSIS
It's mighty hard to believe after seeing what we just saw, but this was the first knockout win of Fortuna's MMA career. He connected with a shot just above Hamilton's ear, and his opponent went down as if he was hit by a sniper. Referee Herb Dean was on the spot, as usual, but there was little for him to do other than waive off the contest. Fortuna spent his entire career fighting nobodies in no-name promotions prior to Saturday. He will turn 32 in October, so his long-term ceiling is extremely limited, but at least he can say he has a win under the UFC banner.
