During UFC 313, welterweight Carlos Leal showcased a carefully crafted strategy by finishing opponent Alex Morono in the first round. Leal's approach, established long before, was influenced by his previous experience in a Grand Prix tournament where he had to adjust tactics for multiple fights in one night. He emphasized the need to finish fights swiftly while minimizing personal damage, indicative of rigorous training. Anticipating Morono's toughness, Leal felt confident in his game plan and executed it effectively, achieving a quick victory.
This strategy of actually going for it is something that we put into plan a long time ago.
We had to do two fights in the same night. So the idea is to go for it all and finish the first fight as soon as possible taking minimal damage.
We knew he was going to be tough. We knew the guy can take it.
No it didn't surprise us. We've watched his fights, we know how tough the guy is.
