The time has arrived and tonight’s (Sat., November 3, 2018) UFC 230 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The action got rolling with the UFC 230 preliminary card.
Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will face fan-favorite knockout slugger Derrick Lewis in the main event. But first, the preliminary cards are set to deliver a suitable primer for the main card.
In the featured preliminary bout, exciting featherweight Jason “Hick Diaz” Knight will take on Jordan Rinaldi. Perhaps more notoriously, controversial women’s flyweight Sijara Eubanks will take on Roxanne Modafferi. Eubanks missed weight for the second time in three UFC fights yesterday.
The action began with Adam Wieczorek vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima at heavyweight. Not looking to strike with kickboxing champion de Lima, Wieczorek ground the fight early. De Lima reversed position, however. The hulking Brazilian smothered Wieczorek with some ground and pound throughout the round. In the second, de Lima came out with a hard low kick followed by a combo of punches. A clinch battle ensued. De Lima landed more strikes and leg kicks. Wieczorek was gassed as the damage to his legs was apparent. De Lima continued the assault in the third. He ground Wieczorek and achieved the mount. Wieczorek escaped but de Lima quickly dropped him again. Wieczorek was sluggish and retreating as de Lima smothered him to win a one-sided decision.
Shane Burgos meets Kurt Holobaugh at 145 pounds next. Like de Lima in the fight before him, Holobaugh came out firing with low kicks. Burgos checked some. Both fighters landed well, with Burgos snapping his jab. Holobaugh dropped Burgos with a quick hook. Burgos rapidly reversed with a brutal armbar, however, earning an amazing submission when he appeared badly hurt. Amazing stuff.
