Noche UFC Results

After earning victories on Road to UFC and Dana White’s Contender Series, Knutsson now also has a UFC victory under her belt as well. Now 7-0 as a professional, the 27-year-old is one to watch in the strawweight division.

Two seasons ago at the UFC APEX, the LAW MMA representative had Duncan hurt, rushed forward, and paid a heavy price, getting clipped and finished. Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, he hurt the returning Alex Reyes, but remained patient, landing big shots as he pressed forward patiently before finally putting Reyes away with a clean right hand.

This was an excellent effort from the Long Island-based lightweight, who moved to 8-2 with his second straight first-round stoppage win.

The Fight Ready MMA representative displayed crisp, powerful boxing throughout, stinging the Canadian on multiple instances across all three rounds. While Jasudavicius kept pressuring forward and had her moments, Cortez stood her ground and fired back, showcasing tremendous improvements with her hands.

That’s now five straight in the UFC for Cortez, who entered the contest positioned inside the Top 15 and should earn a step up in competition after registering another victory.

Nothing is ever forced or telegraphed with Kopylov — he just throws, lands, and does damage. Fremd was an absolute mess and Kopylov never let off the gas, continuing to land heavy blows, finally putting him away with a left hand to the body.

Just an absolute dominant showing from the ascending Russian who is quickly becoming a real problem in the 185-pound weight class.

The Mexican-Canadian knocked Reed halfway across the cage with a clean left hand early in the first and then bent her arm in an uncomfortable position while nearly finishing an armbar. IN the second, she continued to piece up Reed on the feet and rag-doll her in the grappling interaction, having her way with the taekwondo stylist before sinking in the fight-ending choke.

After reaching the UFC after just five fights, the 30-year-old has grown by leaps and bounds over the course of her previous eight appearances, and looked like a monster on Saturday, wrapping up her second career submission finish and sixth UFC victory overall.

When the tens and nines were added up, Nelson came out with a second straight victory while extending his unbeaten streak to three this year. The Canadian veteran continues to improve and has clearly established himself as a tough out in the featherweight division.

Christos Giagos landed some big shots that wobbled Zellhuber in the opening stanza, forcing the young Mexican to retreat and recover. He started to work his way back into the fight late in the first, and came out more effective in the second, forcing Giagos backwards and making him shoot for a desperation takedown after stinging him with a right hand. When he did, the lanky “Golden Boy” quickly locked up an anaconda choke and drew out the tap.

Just 24 years old, that’s now back-to-back victories for Zellhuber and wins in 14 of his 15 career appearances. There are things he needs to continue working on, but the Dana White’s Contender Series graduate is clearly someone to keep an eye on in the 155-pound weight class.

The bantamweights came out chucking, with each man landing shots right out of the chute. But as they continued throwing, Rosas Jr. connected with a left hand that sent Mitchell crashing to the canvas. From there, the youngest fighter on the UFC roster pounced and pounded out the finish.

Just 18 years old, Rosas Jr. clearly has a world of upside as a competitor, and watching him continue to develop and improve is going to remain a fascinating story to watch inside the Octagon over the coming years.

The ranked combatants ran close to level through each of the first two rounds, Della Maddalena working more efficiently and economically, while Holland put out much more volume. Each time one man edged forward, the other did something to stem the tide, with the pattern and rhythm from the first two rounds carrying over to the third.

After 15 minutes, the scorecards were required to determine the victor and the judges were split, with Della Maddalena landing on the happy side of the split decision verdict. That’s now six straight wins in the UFC for the ascending talent from Perth, and 16 consecutive wins overall.

The championship rounds were tense and tight. In the fourth, Grasso landed a series of short knees to the head of Shevchenko before rushing a back take and losing position, with “Bullet” landing an elbow that opened up Grasso later in the frame. And in the fifth, the former champion started well, picking at Grasso before a mistake allowed the Mexican titleholder to take her back and spend the remainder of the round landing shots and threatening with choke attempts.

As the horn sounded, the crowd erupted, with the outcome uncertain. When the totals were read allowed, we had ourselves a draw, with each woman winning 48-47 on one card and the third official seeing the fight even.

Grasso retains her title in a classic encounter, and it will be interesting to see what happens from here. While not the result anyone wanted, this was an outstanding fight between two incredible talents.
