Brazilian featherweight Wellington “Predador” Prado (11-2-0) stopped Bruno Viana (13-5-0) on punches in the opening round of last night’s “SFT 25: Predador vs. Viana” main event held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The highly rated Prado, 23, bounced back from a disappointing loss to veteran Marcos dos Santos (32-13-1) a year ago to win his fifth fight in his last six.

Brazil-native Marcio “God of War” Andrade (21-5-0), the No. 3 ranked lightweight in China, used his superior jiu-jitsu skills in his SFT MMA debut versus super lightweight Anderson “Buzica” Ferreira (14-4-0), slipping in a D’Arcy choke for an opening round win by submission.

In a match between Brazilian welterweights, Bruno “Gafanhoto” Santos (9-1-0) won a unanimous decision over Isias “Carcaca” Simoes (7-3-0).

Raphael “Dengue” Silva punched out welterweight Cicero Evangelista in the first round of their Xtreme fight. SFT Xtreme competition allows striking, kicking and knees, fighters wear 4-ounce gloves, and clinching and fighting on the mat is prohibited.

In a pair of amateur matches, welterweight Mathues Rocha won a unanimous decision over Nilton Gomes, while strawweight Sarah Filipini won when her opponent, Mayara Mota, was unable to continue after the first round due a medical stoppage.
