The Main Event:

The UFC showcased a Middleweight brawl in the main event of UFC Vegas 47. We had the No. 7 UFC ranked, former ‘King of the Cage’ MW Champ, Sean “Tarzan” Strickland, with a 24-3 record, entering the octagon to combat the No. 6 UFC ranked former MW Champ in ‘Cage Warriors’ & ‘Warrior Fight Series’, Jack ‘The Joker’ Hermansson, with a current record of 22-6.

Outcome:
In a somewhat lackluster performance, Strickland maintained his streak, now at six straight wins. The final seconds of the 25-minute performance were the most impassioned, with a bloodied Strickland calling Hermansson a P*ssy.

The Co-Main Event:

Meanwhile, the co-main event featured more Middleweight contenders, when the undefeated Diaz Bros prodigy, Nick Maximov, took on ‘Puna’ Punahele Soriano, the Former NCAA All-American wrestling competitor, held a 8-1 record entering the octagon tonight. Meanwhile, the newest Stockton badboy, held a record of 7-0 walking into this bout.

Outcome:
Maximov managed to out-wrestle the wrestler in the final round, securing his ‘W’. He kept pressure on Soriano throughout the bout, constantly pushing for takedowns. But ‘Puna’ defended and kept the fight standing for the first two rounds, even bloodying Maximov’s nose with a well-timed shot early on. When all was said and done, the unanimous decision went to the ‘Nick Diaz Academy’ combatant.

The Rest of the Main Card:

Prior to the headlining bouts, we were graced with compelling showdowns including: Welterweights Shavkat Rakhmonov in a POTN against Carlston Harris, keeping his perfect 15-0 record intact with a first round stoppage via a wicked spinning heel hook followed up by precise ground strikes.

Also on the main card, we got our TUF Finale match, which took place between the one-eyed Bryan ‘Pooh Bear’ Battle and the not-so-vicious Tresean ‘Mr. Vicious’ Gore.
