It was a good night for the brothers Bonfim as Gabriel Bonfim joined younger brother Ismael Bonfim in the winner’s circle with a first-round submission at UFC 283.
Gabriel Bonfim needed just 49 seconds to tap striking specialist Mounir Lazzez, who gave him up his neck as he ducked under his opponent’s striking attack.

Lazzez’s sharp, technical striking stood in stark contrast to the aggressiveness of Gabriel Bonfim, who charged in throwing heat from the opening bell. As it turned out that this approach worked just fine to get Lazzez looking for a takedown. Bonfim wrapped his legs around Lazzez’s stomach and there was no escape. As the two rolled to a stop on the canvas, Bonfim’s hands were still secured around the neck, and Lazzez had to tap.
