Secures victory in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
April 6, 2024
Hugo defeated Pedro Falcao via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It took Hugo about a round to find his range, but once he did, he had zero problems with his late-notice replacement in Falcao. Aided by his opponent tiring just a bit, Victor posted a 53-37 edge in terms of total strikes landed over the course of the final ten minutes. The opening frame could have gone either way, but Hugo's strong showing in the latter stages of the fight ensured he would walk away with the victory. This was Hugo's first UFC bout, but he now has a 14 fight winning streak overall.
