Rafael Estevam scored a unanimous decision victory over Jesus Aguilar at UFC Vegas 102, marking his second consecutive win in the UFC octagon. Estevam's initial victory came back in November 2023 but was delayed due to a benign abdominal tumor that required surgery. In the fight against Aguilar, Estevam dominated and felt confident about his performance, recognizing he was ahead going into the final round. The unexpected strategy from Aguilar to engage on the ground favored Estevam, who utilized his grappling skills to control the match and secure the win.
"I knew that I was going into the third round two-nothing. I got to the third round, we started running away with it a little bit."
"I knew I needed to pull a rabbit out of a hat, and I was able to do it. It was about waiting for him to make a mistake."
