What happened: The finish came by punches at 3:12 of Round 2. Rafael entered UFC 332 after making weight for his 50th straight pro fight at 70.5 kilograms on Friday.

Why it matters: That result now becomes the defining outcome attached to a milestone appearance that had already been a pre-fight talking point. A second-round TKO also settles the matchup decisively, which usually sharpens the next step in the weight class more than a close decision would.

What to watch: Post-fight matchmaking fallout is the next item to watch after the milestone booking is now in the books. Official UFC 332 records may add any immediate bonus or administrative updates.
