Eagle FC just held its first event in the United States, and it was a tremendous success. It had a great card and some great fighters featured on it. One fighter that was on the card was the UFC veteran Yorgan De Castro.

The former UFC heavyweight took on Shaun Asher on the preliminary card at Eagle FC 44. ‘The Mad Titan’, who was looking to make a solid impression, did just that. He needed just 64 seconds to dispatch his opponent and get the win. After the fight, the Portuguese-Cape Verdean fighter shared a beautiful moment with his daughter. He brought her into the cage and shared a video on Twitter.

With the video, he wrote, Everything I do. I do it for you. My everything.”
