God Of War currently has a record of 20 wins out of his 22 matches with 9 knockout victories, where he has been defeated only once by Jussier Formiga at UFC 148, back in 2019.

“I was confident that I had won the fight; I was able to control him, and he never really hurt me, I have to fight Cejudo next. There is no one else. I’m the No. 1-ranked guy, and I just won again.” 

“Everyone knows about my jiu-jitsu, and I knew I would have that advantage over him, so the strategy was to wear him out and take away some of his power. I’ve been getting better with my wrestling and striking and mixing it all together. I’m still improving every day, and I’m ready to be champ.” Formiga expressed after winning the fight.

With judges scoring – Derek Cleary (27-30), Jim Sarratt (28-29), and Brian Puccillo (28-29).
