Matheus Camilo's Grappling and Grit Shine in Unanimous Decision Win Over Borshchev
"Round 2 - Camilo opened the round with pressure, backing Borshchev up on the feet before securing a quick takedown and taking his back. Borshchev turned to his side to escape, but Camilo transitioned to mount and began setting up an arm-triangle choke. From the top, Camilo mixed in steady ground-and-pound with punches and elbows while Borshchev tried to work free but absorbed damage in the process."
"Round 3 - Borshchev returned to his pressure-heavy style, sensing Camilo was fading. For every single strike Camilo threw, Borshchev answered with combinations. Camilo did land a hard right hand followed by a leg kick that briefly stunned Borshchev, but it caused little real damage. He then shot for a takedown, only for Borshchev to stuff it with ease, his first successful defense of the fight amid rumors of a compromised knee."
"Borshchev continued to control the pace until Camilo cracked him with another heavy right that visibly rocked the Russian, though he masked it well. With Camilo exhausted, the moment passed without a finish. Inside the final 90 seconds, Camilo secured a takedown and worked to take the back, but Borshchev reversed the position and ended up on top."
Camilo established control with aggressive pressure, securing takedowns, taking the back, transitioning to mount and attempting an arm-triangle while delivering steady ground-and-pound. Borshchev repeatedly scrambled up, traded strikes, and absorbed damage before countering with heavy body hooks and upstairs rights as Camilo fatigued. In the third, Borshchev pressed consistently, answering every Camilo strike and stuffing takedown attempts despite knee concerns. Camilo landed several heavy rights that briefly stunned Borshchev but failed to finish. Late in the fight Camilo secured a takedown and sought the back, but Borshchev reversed to top position, stood, and both fighters traded until the final bell.
