Doubts hung over whether they would square off, given how close they are. But as Buchecha explains, they both have a dream and will pursue it regardless of their personal relationship.

Leandro's like my brother. But I train with my brothers every day, we try to kill each other and it's not going to be different. We have the same dream, and it's the kind of one we can share. He's my brother no matter what, winning or losing. We're going to do our best.Lo defeated Checkmat's Luiz Panza -- a close friend and training partner of Buchecha -- 3-2 on the other side of the bracket.
