This Saturday’s, Sep, 14th., UFC on ESPN+ 16, Fight Night 158 event from Vancouver, BC, Canada, featured a co-main that went the distance between Glover Teixeira and Nikita Krylov, ending in a split decision going Glover’s way & we had an all too brief main event featuring top-ranked lightweight strikers, the living legend – Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone – the underdog for this fight vs. Justin ‘The Human Highlight’ Gaethje. Being not only fan favorites but friends made it hard to Justin to keep going until the ref called the stoppage at 4:18 in round 1 via KO/TKO.
We also had a round 1 no contest – due to an accidental eye gouge with Todd Duffee vs Jeff Hughes, decisions on Connelly vs Pereira and Hall vs ACJ. Our opener on the main event ended in a Peruvian Necktie Sub at just 3:38 in round 1 with Mischa Cirkunov just killing Jimmy Crute in short fashion. The undercard had four decisions and two finishes. Overall, a decent night of fights.
