It’s once again fight day here at LowKickMMA, and the talent on display tonight (Saturday, December 30th, 2017) will come from in the form of UFC 219. Headlining the card are Holly Holm and Cris Cyborg, but there’s a whole bunch of great fights also taking place on the preliminary section of the card.
Michal Oleksijczyk vs. Khalil Rountree in a light heavyweight closes the preliminary card on FOX Sports 1.
Myles Jury vs. Rick Glenn is next in a featherweight bout.
Marvin Vettori vs. Omari Akhmedov is next in a middleweight bout.
Louis Smolka vs. Matheus Nicolau in a flyweight bout opens the FOX Sports 1 preliminary bouts.
The only the UFC Fight Pass prelims is Tim Elliott vs. Mark De La Rosa in a flyweight bout. In round 1, Elliott doesn’t waste much time shooting after De La Rosa tries coming forward behind a 1-1-2. Elliott avoids the guillotine by passing to side. De La Rosa reclaims guard and shifts his hips for an armbar. Elliott is stacking him, stands, and tries slamming out. No good. Second slam works. De La Rosa shifts his hips again for armbar but Elliott feeds him a pair of hammerfists with out getting himself caught again. De La Rosa fights off the guillotine. Elliott briefly takes the back. De La Rosa briefly on top before Elliott scrambles back on top. In round 2, De La Rosa shoots and Elliott snares him in an anaconda right away. De La Rosa escapes, nearly gets put in a top-side crucifix. Elliott punching from guard now. Elliott with the D’Arce choke.
