Hype Brazil results: Deiveson Figueiredo, Raul Rosas Jr. draw in bizarre grappling match

UFC fighters Deiveson Figueiredo and Raul Rosas Jr. met inside the ring for a submission-only grappling match in the co-main event of Hype Brazil, which went down Wednesday night in Sao Paulo, and neither fighter got close to securing a finish.

Instead, fans in attendance witnessed two MMA fighters taunting and having fun in the ring.

Rosas Jr. started off by clowning Figueiredo, keeping his hands behind his back before trying a flying armbar that was nowhere near the target. Figueiredo ended up on north-south position before making the transition to the back, but Rosas Jr. escaped back to his feet.

Rosas Jr. returned to taunting, playfully giving Figueiredo his back and dancing around the ring. Figueiredo smiled back before Rosas Jr. went for a takedown and entered Figueiredo’s guard, posing for pictures and not necessarily doing anything to advance positions and chase submissions.

The UFC fighters got back up and Figueiredo worked for a guillotine, easily defended by Rosas Jr. The young UFC talent decided to expose his neck on purpose for another guillotine attempt just for the fun, escaping with apparent ease.

Rosas Jr. shot for a takedown and Figueiredo once again attacked the neck, again with no luck. nothing there again. Rosas Jr. emulated basketball moves instead of engaging, and time eventually ran out.

With no finish, the match was declared a draw. Figueiredo now turns his focus back to his May 30 UFC bout with Song Yadong, and called for a grappling match with Marlon Vera as well. Rosas Jr. has yet to book his next octagon bout after defeating Rob Font this past March.
