Well now, let me tell ya, this Gabriel Braga and Chris Wade fight sure got a lotta folks talkin’. It was all set up for that big ol’ PFL Playoffs on August 4, 2023, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port, down there in San Antonio, Texas. You know, that’s where the action was happenin’. I reckon some folks mighta thought Wade was gonna take it, being the ol’ pro from Long Island, but turns out, it wasn’t that easy. Gabriel Braga, that young fella, he sure put on a good show and ended up takin’ that win! Well, let me go and tell ya how it all went down.
Now, Chris Wade, he’s from Islip, New York, and he’s known as the “Long Island Killer.” Ain’t that a name? He’s been around the block a few times, with a record of 23 wins and 10 losses, now that’s a fella who knows how to fight. You’d think with all that experience under his belt, he’d be able to handle a youngster like Gabriel Braga. But sometimes, things just don’t go the way ya plan ’em.
Gabriel Braga, now, he’s a fighter outta Rio de Janeiro, and he sure has been makin’ a name for himself in the MMA world. He’s got a lotta energy and speed, and he’s been risin’ fast in the ranks. A lotta folks thought he might be a little too green for the likes of Wade, but as it turned out, that boy came ready to fight. He managed to pull off the victory and got himself a spot in the 2023 PFL Championship, which is no small feat, lemme tell ya.
The fight was part of the PFL 7: 2023 Playoffs, and it was one of them semi-final bouts in the featherweight division. Both of ’em were fightin’ for a chance to move on to the big championship, where a whole lotta folks were watchin’. It was scheduled for 6:30 PM ET, but I reckon if you were watchin’ online, the time was more like 2:07 AM UTC the next day, but don’t ask me to figure out all them time zones, I just know when it’s time to tune in!
Now, if you didn’t catch the fight, I’ll give ya a quick rundown. They both started off pretty strong. Wade, he was doin’ his thing, puttin’ that pressure on. He’s a solid fighter, been around long enough to know when to strike and when to defend. But Braga, he wasn’t backin’ down. That young buck was all over him, throwin’ punches, takin’ shots, and just movin’ faster than Wade could handle. It didn’t take too long before it was clear that Braga had the upper hand.
It’s funny, ain’t it? A lotta folks thought Wade’s experience would win the day, but you just never know in this sport. One good move, one slip-up, and it’s all over. Braga took advantage of every little opportunity that came his way. By the end of the fight, it was clear that the youngster had earned that win, and Wade, well, he just had to accept it. Sometimes, the older dog just don’t have enough in the tank to keep up with the speed of a younger one.
Now, I’m sure Wade’s gonna come back stronger, he’s too seasoned to let a little loss keep him down. And as for Braga, well, I reckon he’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with in that championship. He’s got his sights set on that big title, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes all the way. But ya never know, in this sport, anything can happen.
So, there ya go, folks. It was a hard-fought battle, but Gabriel Braga came out on top. He’s got himself a spot in the 2023 PFL Championship, and I’d say he’s earned it. The fight mighta been tough, but in the end, it was all about who had the most fight in ’em. And this time, that was Gabriel Braga. Let’s see what the future holds for both of ’em!
