0:39Round 1
Lopes built the first round with control and composure rather than pure chaos. He mixed the kicking game into early entries, forced Silva to defend on the mat and spent long stretches on top, where the strike count and positional control kept the main event tilted his way even before the bigger swings arrived.
5:51Round 2
The second round turned into the wild fight Silva wanted, but Lopes still found the decisive moment. Silva had cleaner success in open space and raised the pace, yet Lopes kept dragging the exchanges back into scrambles until a spinning back elbow crashed through late, opening the cut and setting up the finishing punches with just 12 seconds left.
