UFC 301 video: Joanderson Brito slices Jack Shore's shin with leg kick to earn stoppage win

Joanderson Brito got one of the more unusual stoppages in recent UFC memory against Jack Shore at UFC 301.

After busting up the legs of Shore (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) with kicks for several minutes, one shot from Brito (17-3-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) sliced the shin open and led to a significant amount of bleeding. The doctor was called in to check on the cut and ultimately deemed the featherweight fight at Rio Arena in Rio de Janeiro would not continue, awarding Brito with the TKO stoppage win at the 3:35 mark of Round 2.

With five consecutive wins in the 145-pound division now on his resume, Brito said in his post-fight interview that he’s looking to climb higher with a callout of Dan Ige.

“Let’s be honest: I’m at another level in this division,” Brito told Daniel Cormier through an interpreter. “Shout out to everyone on my team.”
