Luis Aguiar’s LFA Opportunity Ends With Degli’s First-Round Body Shot
Marcos Degli defeated Luis Aguiar at LFA 225 on January 23, 2026, at Ginásio Nilson Nelson in Brasília. The interim flyweight championship main event ended at 1:35 of the first round after Degli landed a decisive punch to the body.
The weigh-in changes the title conditions
Aguiar’s opportunity had already been complicated at the weigh-in. He registered 125.6 pounds, above the championship limit, while Degli weighed 125. The contest proceeded as a one-sided title bout, with only the defending interim champion eligible to retain the belt.
Inside the cage, Degli ended the assignment quickly with a liver shot. The finish kept his championship position intact and denied Aguiar the competitive breakthrough he had sought on the promotion’s opening Brazilian event of the year.
A first-round finish settles the assignment
The victory moved Degli to fourteen wins and three losses, while Aguiar’s record became nine wins and two defeats. Those totals describe the fighters immediately after the event, with the official report listing the outcome as a first-round knockout or technical knockout.
Elsewhere on the card, Derick Borges won a unanimous decision over Daniel Araujo and Rafael Pereira submitted Lionel Abojer in the third round. Aguiar’s own night was much shorter: a missed-weight complication followed by a body-shot defeat. The completed result left Degli with the interim title and Aguiar with another rebuilding task rather than a championship victory.
