Evolve University Fight Breakdown: Ataides vs. Rafiq


The Evolve Fight Team’s Leandro Ataides made his much anticipated ONE FC debut last month at ONE FC: Warrior Spirit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  His opponent was a much more experienced French fighter, Brayan Rafiq.  After a good grappling exchange early in the first round, Ataides showed off his newly improved Muay Thai skills, landing some big punches to finish the fight by KO.  Although already an established world class grappler, Ataides has been working hard with Evolve’s Muay Thai World Champions this year.  His hard work paid off in this fight, and he sent an emphatic message to the rest of the ONE FC middleweight division that he has arrived.

In this video, Leandro Ataides breaks down his fight against Brayan Rafiq.  Learn exactly what Ataides was thinking and what techniques he used to earn his highlight reel KO over Rafiq.
