No-shows co-main event loss

Brito lost to Pat Sabatini via unanimous decision (26-30, 26-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Brito was the victim of a poor judging decision in a fight against Frenchman William Gomis in Paris in September. Now, he's riding a two-fight losing streak after one of the most lopsided three-round decisions you will ever see. Brito is a big, strong guy with reasonable grappling skills. That didn't stop Sabatini from landing 4-of-5 takedowns and an insane 13:47 worth of control time. Brito was credited with three significant strikes. There's a reasonable chance this was nothing more than a terribly stylistic matchup for the Brazilian, but this performance doesn't inspire much confidence moving forward.

Brito lost to William Gomis via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
The judging has been poor all evening, but Brito was the first one to suffer a loss as a result. There's a better case to be made that Joanderson deserved all three as opposed to Brito stealing a pair. The fight came down to Round 1. Both men landed nine significant strikes in the frame, while Brito connected on the round's only takedown. Two of the three judges felt that wasn't enough. Fighting in enemy territory against a native Frenchman, Brito had to know this was a possibility in a tight bout. The good news is that the Brazilian entered with five straight stoppage wins on his resume and is roster spot is plenty secure.

Brito will take on William Gomis in a featherweight matchup at UFC Paris on September 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Brito has been on an absolute tear of late, winning five consecutive fights -- all via stoppage -- with two Performance of the Night bonuses along the way. He now runs into an undefeated fighter in Gomis, who will hold slight height and reach advantages when the cage doors close. Brito's strength is his wrestling, averaging more than three takedowns per fight, while Gomis defends the takedown at an 81 percent clip.
Fifth straight stoppage win

Brito defeated Jack Shore via TKO (doctor stoppage) at 3:35 of Round 2 at UFC 301 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
One of the hottest fighters in the sport today, Brito's stellar run continues. Seemingly built of granite and putting everything he has in every single strike he throws, Joanderson obliterated Shore with leg kicks. He landed just eight strikes to the head and body, but 22 to the legs. Shore's lower half was a bloody mess when all was said and done, and the damage so significant that the doctor had to stop the fight. Jack is no pushover, but we've reached the point in which Brito -- who has won five in a row, all via stoppage -- is due for a significant bump up in competition his next time out. This guy is terrifying.

Brito will face off against Jack Shore at UFC 301 on May 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Brito, who recently claimed his fourth-consecutive victory with a win over Jonathan Pearce in November, will match up against Jack Shore next. The 28-year-old Brazilian fighter, who is now 4-1 during his time with the UFC, will look to keep his winning streak alive against Shore.
