Marcin Tybura made quick work of Tai Tuivasa last night (Sat., Mar. 16, 2024) at UFC Vegas 88 live on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, putting “Bam Bam” to sleep with a suffocating first-round choke.
In addition the heavyweight headliner, UFC Vegas 88 played host to a collection of memorable matchups. It wasn’t a jam-packed card on paper, but the action delivered from the opening bell. Check out some of the standout performances below:
- Flyweight prospect Jafel Filho scored a dominant first-round submission finish over veteran Ode Osbourne (see HERE)
- Jaqueline Amorim needed two submissions to stop Cory McKenna after referee Mike Beltran blew a call early in the first round
- Lightweight veteran Thiago Moises returned to the UFC win column with a nasty leg kick TKO over Octagon newcomer Mitch Ramirez (highlights HERE)
- Mike Davis pushed his lightweight win streak to four with a one-sided submission finish over Natan Levy
- Gerald Meerschaert tied Anderson Silva for most finishes in UFC middleweight history (11) with a vicious submission stoppage over Bryan Barberena
