Veteran lightweights Luis Palomino (22-9) and Jorge Patino (35-15-2) combined for a fast-paced slugfest that ultimately saw “Baboon” stop “Macaco.”
The fight served as the first main-card matchup at Saturday’s World Series of Fighting 8, which took place at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The night’s main card aired on NBC Sports Network following prelims that streamed on MMAjunkie.
Palomino and Patino put on quite the show, standing and trading in repeated firefights in the cage. Palomino wobbled Patino in the first, but the Brazilian wasn’t willing to go away that easy. However, Palomino didn’t slow the assault in the second and ultimately earned an impressive stoppage win.
