Luis Felipe Dias put a bow on a strong preliminary card for UFC Macau, landing a right hand to score a finish of Yi Sak Lee in the featured bout of the early card.
The fight was slow to start, with both fighters trying to read the other before leg kicks were traded. Lee tried to get his boxing going, but Dias landed a couple of strong counterpunches, one of which briefly knocked Lee down.
Dias landed another strong punch that dropped Lee, causing him to go to his knees and fall on his stomach on the canvas. A couple of follow-up shots brought about the stoppage, giving Dias the win.
