Sergei Pavlovich is absolutely the real deal and is going to find himself competing in a massive fight the next time he steps into the Octagon. It was such an impressive bounce back performance for Thompson, who really needed to have a big win after dropping his last two fights. The win proves that Thompson still has every bit of what it takes to compete with the welterweight elite.
In the second round, Topuria hurt Mitchell on the feet before getting him to the ground and getting the submission win to push his UFC record to 5-0 and 13-0 overall. It was a back-and-forth battle in the first round, with Bobby Green coming out more successful and landing more of his punches, doing some damage to Dober’s face. The fast-paced exchanges continued in the second round with Dober continuing to eat Green’s punches, but also securing some of his own as well. Green was backed up against the fence halfway through the round when Dober threw a left hand that landed just right, putting Green out.
Roles We Love: Jake Gyllenhaal
Although Alves slugged it out with Dober to end the second, Dober clearly had gained momentum and control of the fight. The high pace continued in the third round, and seemingly out of nowhere, Dober connected with a perfectly placed left hook to the body that melted Alves and earned Dober another stoppage victory. From the jump, Pantoja jumped on Perez, peppering him with punch and swarming him wholly. Soon, Perez backed up and Pantoja executed a beautiful back-take, locking in the body triangle while Perez stood against the cage and focused on fighting hands. Pantoja remained furious in his attempts to finish the fight, and locked in a rear naked choke that wasn’t under the chin but put enough pressure on Perez’s jaw and neck to get the tapout victory. Landing a check left hook, Pauga was out on his feet before Usman landed the final blows of the bout that sealed the deal.
"The Prince of Peru" snatched his third submission win via knee bar in the biggest moment of his career. His co-main event showcase versus Clay Guida shows just how dangerous Puelles is to other lightweights and why he's someone you might not want to take down. To start the fight, Font peppered Vera with his patented jab, but Vera cashed some leg kicks in early to try slow down his opponent.
UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs Rakić
Although rugby is an obsession, for many New Zealanders the most celebrated day in their country’s sporting history is the “golden hour” in athletics at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. First Peter Snell won the 800m then Murray Halberg took gold in the 5,000m. Although rugby is an obsession, for many New Zealanders the most celebrated day in their country’s sporting history is the... Crackers, stockings, cards, the decorating of the tree, the dinner, even the time off work and the giving of gifts on the big day — there aren’t many Christmas traditions that didn’t originate with the... Crackers, stockings, cards, the decorating of the tree, the dinner, even the time off work and... Rail strikes and the cold snap hit high streets the hardest as weekly footfall declined during the crucial festive trading period.
Before reading the scorecards, announcer Joe Martinez uncharacteristally compelled the crowd to stand up and give a second deafening ovation, which they eagerly supplied. The strikes had Tuivasa hurt badly and put the entire arena in a frenzy. Somehow both fighters survived the second frame and moved on to the third. Almeida shot for a takedown 10 seconds into the fight and was in control from there on out. Turkalj did well to get to his feet on a few occasions, but Almeida was always one step ahead and immediately dragged Turkalj back to the mat.

The UFC 275 main event bout between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka lived up to all the hype, as both men laid it on the line for nearly all 25 minutes. The back and forth affair featured just about everything a fan of mixed martial arts could hope for. There was wrestling, submission attempts, striking, ground and pound, and intense moments. Late in the first round, Michael Johnson dropped Jamie Mullarkey with a hard left hand, but Mullarkey was able to recover quickly and earn a knockdown of his own moments later to close out the opening five minutes. As time went on, Mullarkey hit his stride, landing accurate strikes with volume while evading power shots from Johnson.
Todorović turned the tide, unleashing a flurry of strikes with the majority hitting the target. Todorović took the fight to the mat and began landing ground and pound of his own until the referee stepped in to stop the fight. For the back-and-forth nature of this fight, it was clearly deserving of FOTN honors. The Ultimate Fighter season 29 finalist has been self-admittedly learning on the job. Well, the middleweight prospect proved he’s taken some lessons in snatching necks when he locked in a crazy guillotine choke against Josh Fremd.
After a frustrating string of cancelled fights and a loss, Tyson Nam came roaring back with a stellar first round KO victory over Ode Osbourne that sealed his first Octagon victory since 2019. Timing some jumps he saw from his opponent, Nam capitalized with some veteran timing of his own, dropping Osbourne before the clock hit three minutes. Pechanga Arena in San Diego was on its feet at the final bell of Nate Landwehr vs David Onama, giving a roaring standing ovation upon realizing they had just witnessed an instant classic and possible frontrunner for 2022 fight of the year honors.
For his first co-main event inside the Octagon, Song Yadong would rise to the occasion, delivering a first round knockout against UFC veteran, Marlon Moraes. The spotlight and attention seemed to have little affect on Song, as he looked more than confident against the veteran. It tied for the fourth biggest statistical comeback finish in UFC middleweight history.
Senator Debbie Stabenow also makes a cameo as the Governor of New Jersey. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Soledad O'Brien, Anderson Cooper, Nancy Grace, Charlie Rose, Dana Bash, Andrew Sullivan, and Vikram Gandhi appear as themselves. Sammi Rotibi was cast as General Amajagh, while Wunmi Mosaku portrays Kahina Ziri, a woman from Nairomi who initially testifies to the U.S. Snyder himself also makes a cameo as one of Knyazev's goons holding a rifle at the warehouse standoff.
Barberena kept the pace as the round neared and end and was able to put Lawler out on his feet. It was one of those fights that was a scrap from the first second to last. In the only heavyweight fight on the card, Chase Sherman vs Jared Vanderra delivered fast-paced action for as long as it lasted. Jacoby’s blistering KO of Da Un Jung was an impressive one and sets him up perfectly for a big fight the next time we see him walk to the Octagon.
Vera dropped Font again midway through the fourth round, but Font survived. Font came out heavy early and often, but once again, Vera rocked the New Englander, but the horn sounded before the finish came. After Fiahlo got stung early, he recovered to line up a check hook that caught the reckless VanCamp and folded him midway through the first round.
Because when studying the United States history the most racist stuff always comes from the South, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking the North was as progressive as the South was racist. The “South” is still considered to start below the line, and political views and cultures tend to change dramatically once past the line and into Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and so on. It is unlikely that Mason and Dixon ever heard the phrase “Mason–Dixon line”. The official report on the survey, issued in 1768, did not even mention their names. While the term was used occasionally in the decades following the survey, it came into popular use when the Missouri Compromise of 1820 named “Mason and Dixon’s line” as part of the boundary between slave territory and free territory. In 1863, during the American Civil War, West Virginia separated from Virginia and rejoined the Union, but the line remained as the border with Pennsylvania.
Before the night was over, it would tie six other UFC events for the most KO/TKO finishes. So rather than try to pick from such a wealth of prime performances, the UFC brass opted—as they did in Singapore—to give each of the nine finishers a bonus. For as long as it lasted, these two delivered a non-stop brawl in a phonebooth. Lawler found success early and often, landing huge shorts that caused significant damage to Barberena. But no matter what he hit Barberena with, he couldn't drop the diamond chinned farmer. Barberena turned on the heat in the second, connecting with massive elbows that put Lawler on skates.
