Lasts 51 seconds in UFC debut
Cerqueira lost to Ibo Aslan via TKO (punches) at 0:51 of Round 1 at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Outside of an immediate stoppage loss, it's difficult to imagine a worse debut than Cerqueira had here. He appeared completely overwhelmed by the situation. Aslan pinned him up along the cage, and Raffael was either unable or unwilling to return fire. Referee Marc Goddard gave him plenty of chances to do something, but the Brazilian appeared completely frozen. The fight as over moments later. Already 34 years of age and with no history of defeating even halfway decent competition, there appears to be little upside here with Cerqueira.

Set for UFC debut
Cerqueira will face Ibo Aslan in a light heavyweight fight at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Cerqueira's first fight at the UFC level, and it's a well-deserved one, as he's gone 11-0-0 in the amateur ranks while ranking as the best fighter in the light heavyweight division in all of South America. Islan has gone 1-0-0 at the UFC level.
