FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – Felipe Arantes may have been trying to knock the purple right out of Godofredo Castro’s hair. He couldn’t quite do that, but Arantes did deliver a beating to hometown favorite “Pepey” from his knees that Castro likely wants to forget with a first-round TKO. The featherweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It streamed on Facebook ahead of a main card on FUEL TV. Castro got a good takedown and looked to take advantage early, but a minute in Arantes reversed and was able to get on top to look for ground and pound. Castro, though, worked body shots from his back and stayed active in guard. “Pepey” was able to nicely reverse by going after a kimura and transitioned to full mount with lots of time left in the round – and Arantes appeared to be in trouble. He ate a few shots, but then went to work himself
