Bonfim on the fight’s key moment

“I use a lot of my jabs to keep the distance and be able to close the distance, as well, to get the submission. But that was the actual game plan. I have the submissions right now (on my resume), but I’m trying to implement the boxing in MMA right now, and that’s why it’s happening. It’s helping me to get the wins.”
