After a successful debut, the Fight Music Promotion held its second event on Sunday at Arena de Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil. According to the promotion, 7,000 people attended the card, and it was broadcast live in Brazil on the Combate Channel.

While the boxing debut of Cristiane Justino drew the majority of the attention from the MMA community, the show featured five MMA fights on the undercard and five boxing bouts on the main draw. In the main event, 47-year-old Acelino Popo Freitas face 49-year-old Vale Tudo legend Jose Landi-Jons in a 165-pound catchweight bout. Landi-Jons, who has been retired since 2015 and has no professional boxing experience, was knocked out by Freitas 1:25 into Round 1.

Freitas floored “Pele” within the fight’s opening 10 seconds with a straight right. Landi-Jons showed his inexperience by not using the full 10-count to recover, and he was still wobbly when the fight resumed. While Freitas battered his opponent with more straight shots, “Pele” was able to score a flash knockdown of his own. However, Freitas recovered in short order and put the former Chute Boxe stalwart on the defensive in the corner of the ring with a series of uppercuts and straight punches to force the stoppage.

Elsewhere, retired UFC veterans Milton Vieira and Felipe Arantes, who battled to a draw at UFC 147, returned to the ring to square off under boxing rules. In one of the evening’s most competitive bouts, Arantes won a unanimous decision.

Meanwhile, ex-Brave Combat Federation champion Luan Santiago knocked out “TUF: Brazil” finalist William Macario 22 seconds into the opening round of an MMA bout at 170 pounds. Santiago sent “Patolino” to the canvas with a straight right and then finished the contest with a barrage of elbows.
