Britons Paul Craig and Jack Shore suffer defeats at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Briton's Paul Craig and Jack Shore suffered second round defeats at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Craig's defeat was his second in a row at middleweight, with Shore losing his first featherweight contest since moving up in weight last year. He struggled to find rhythm against 31-year-old Borralho, and was stunned in the first round as the Brazilian displayed his striking advantage with a straight right-left combination.
Shore, 29, meanwhile, was fighting for the first time in 14 months after having an arm operation in which bone from his pelvis was fused with his wrist. The referee stopped the contest to allow doctors to check on the Welshman, who had blood pouring down his leg. Erceg, who had a size and reach advantage over Pantoja, attacked with his jab and elbows throughout, but lost the fight during the grappling exchanges, where the Brazilian racked up more than eight minutes of control time on the ground.
