Abdul Razak Alhassan and Cody Brundage ruled a No Contest (accidental blows) at 0:37 of Round 1 The opening bout of the main card started as chaotically as expected, but ended prematurely, with Abdul Razak Alhassan landing several elbows to the back of the head of Cody Brundage, resulting in the fight being paused and

“Facing a Brazilian, up on the top of the division, the top of the world in the UFC is fantastic. As much as it might divide the fans, might divide the country, it just reinforces that the women of Brazil are on the top of the sport.” And with a win on Saturday, Jandiroba is

Brazilian standouts Amanda Lemos and Virna Jandiroba face off in a crucial pairing near the top of the strawweight division in Saturday’s main event. Lemos rebounded from her championship opportunity at UFC 292 last summer in Boston with a dominant effort opposite Mackenzie Dern earlier this year at UFC 298, winning the first two rounds

Jandiroba touched down in the UFC with an unbeaten record and fresh off successfully defending the Invicta FC strawweight title with a second-round submission win over Janaisa Morandin. She dropped a decision to former champ Carla Esparza in her debut, and went 3-3 over her first six appearances, beating those stationed behind her in the

While his power rightfully gets top billing, two other pieces that make Pereira so dangerous are the fact that he’s technically sharp and possesses an insane ability to synthesize information on the fly, as well. The kick that short circuited Prochazka’s system was swift, clean, and the correct tactical choice, as well — a strike he

Like Harrison, Michael “Venom” Page arrived in the UFC as an already established star, so he was thrown into the deep end of the welterweight pool with matchups against Kevin Holland and Ian Machado Garry. And while he emerged with a 1-1 record in those bouts, beating Holland and losing a decision to Machado Garry,

Then, on fight day, Ortega turned up with a massive fever that resulted in his being removed from the bout and replaced by Ige, a Las Vegas resident who drove to T-Mobile Arena, weighed in, and stepped into the Octagon to compete, all in the span of about four hours on Saturday. And then Lopes

Islam Makhachev remains the UFC lightweight champion after collecting a fifth-round submission win. The champion put Poirier on the canvas quickly in the first, advancing to his back and staying there for the remainder of the round. Poirier defended well throughout, and the remainder of the fight was scrappier and more competitive, with the challenger

The former featherweight champion was sharp from the start, using his long punches to pick at Gaethje early before shattering his nose with a spinning back kick on the buzzer at the end of the first round. From there, “Blessed” continued to consistently land the better shots, stinging Gaethje on multiple occasions while weathering the

The 135-pound division saw a lot of movement after Macy Chiasson and Mayra Bueno Silva faced off this weekend. Bueno Silva lost to Chiasson after having the fight stopped in the second round due to a nasty cut above her eyebrow. The loss moves her down three spots to No. 6. Meanwhile, Macy Chiasson moved

Outlook: Procházka looked a little rusty coming back for his first fight in nearly 18 months, but he seemed to find his rhythm in the second round of his title fight against Pereira. That is, however, until he ran into a couple hooks and an onslaught of clinch strikes, ending the fight in the second

Usmonov lounges in the backyard with Guillermo Torres, explaining why he loves traveling so much before explaining in an interstitial interview that he moved from his native Tajikistan with his father when he was 10 years old to Yekaterinburg, Russia.

Both men are stationed in the Top 10 in the featherweight rankings, but with the amount of talent pushing forward in the division, this feels like a pairing where each man needs to defend their ground and stake a claim for being considered amongst the division’s elite going forward. Bobby Green vs Paddy Pimblett Ask

TUF HOUSE Bachar returns to the house and says he’s going to kill Valentin, jokingly venturing into the kitchen to collect a knife while the Swiss middleweight tries to demonstrate a technique to his teammates in the living room. Bachar slumps down in the kitchen and begins to cry, struggling to deal with his rapid

He stopped Mullarkey in the second round, earning a Performance of the Night bonus in his debut. From there, he has gone on to secure wins over Nathaniel Wood and Erik Silva.
