In his fourth outing for Combate Global, Ferreira was composed entering the fight; meanwhile, Morales welcomed his striking but thrash talking during the exchanges.
Ferreira who last defeated veteran Martin Bravo the last time he competed inside la jaula, looking for openings to unleash a flurry of punches.
But the Nicaraguan countered until the right moment where he found the opening to connect a kick that sent Ferreira down to the canvass, where the referee came in to put an end to the fight.
A dazed Ferreira quickly stood on his feet to protest the stoppage, however, it was Nicaragua’s Morales who walked out of la jaula with the victory.
In another fight, Michael, a veteran of la jaula, had a different mentality stepping inside la jaula using his intelligence as a fighter trying to dictate where the fight would go with the pace.
He quickly put a stoppage to Carlos’ explosiveness. Unlike other fight where Michael uses his wrestling, he showed confidence with his confidence. After exchanging for sometime, it was Michael who was able to bring Carlos to the clinch where he used effective punches but it was a shot to the liver where Carlos was taken to one knee. The referee stepped in to stop the fight.
Also, Ruelas finished off the former undefeated Aguilar with a spectacle of a head kick. After a few exchanges, the right timing Ruelas connected. Aguilar took time to get up after the kick but was attended by the medical staff.
