Fans react to Gabriel Bonfim’s win at UFC 283

Bonfim walked into the Jeunesse Arena boasting an undefeated 13-0 record. The 25-year-old welterweight faced Mounir “The Sniper” Lazzez, who came into the fight with an 11-2 record, winning 4 out of his last five bouts.

However, the Tunisia native could barely trouble the Brazilian, as the fight proved to be a short affair. After a few quick exchanges, Lazzez shot for a takedown. That was the beginning of the end for him as Bonfim countered and locked in a tight guillotine, leaving his opponent no choice but to tap.

Bonfim’s quick win, shortly after his brother’s emphatic one, had the internet buzzing about the brothers. Fans and fighters both took to social media to give their reactions.
