Fight fans may have noticed that heavyweights Adam Wieczorek and Anthony Hamilton did not participate in ceremonial weigh-ins for tomorrow’s (Sat. October 21, 2017) UFC Fight Night 118 event. This was due to some security concerns after the arrival of some over-the-top soccer fans.

Per a report from MMA Junkie, both Wieczorek and Hamilton were in attendance for the ceremonial weigh-ins, however, after the arrival of several dozen  Lechia Gdansk ultras (extreme and violent supporters of a local soccer club) the UFC decided to hold the pair out of the ceremony. Wieczorek is a noted supporter of the Ruch Chorzow football team, a rival Lechnia Gdansk from South Poland.

After some synchronized chats from the ultras the venue staff decided to put up barricades in front of their section. Police in riot gear were also called to the scene outside of the arena to stop spectators as they exited and asked for identification.

Despite this, Wieczorek and Hamilton’s fight will go on as the pair weighed in successfully this morning. The full fight card can be found below:

  • Donald Cerrone (170) vs. Darren Till (170)
  • Jodie Esquibel (114) vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz (115)
  • Jan Blachowicz (204) vs. Devin Clark (205)
  • Oskar Piechota (185) vs. Jonathan Wilson (186)
  • Nasrat Haqparast (155) vs. Marcin Held (156)
  • Anthony Hamilton (256) vs. Adam Wieczorek (233)
  • Brian Kelleher (135) vs. Damian Stasiak (134)
  • Sam Alvey (189)* vs. Ramazan Emeev (185)
  • Andre Fili (145) vs. Artem Lobov (145)

UFC Albany went down from the Times Union Center in the capital of the Empire State tonight (Friday, December 9, 2016). The Fight Pass event was headlined by a heavyweight duel between fan-favorite Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis and streaking Russian Shamil Abdurakhimov.

The main event was a weird one. Lewis’ typical kick-heavy game at range cost him dearly in the first few rounds, as Abdurakhimov routinely caught his kicks and took down the Houston export. A punch to the eye also clearly hampered Lewis throughout the fight, as he continually blinked and rubbed it. But the Russian’s lack of meaningful offense would come back to haunt him. Lewis still had enough left in the tank in the fourth round to go for his own takedown. He moved to mount soon after completing it, and from there he pounded out his foil for his fifth straight victory.

In the heavyweight co-headliner, Francis Ngannou made quick work of Anthony Hamilton. The scarily powerful French prospect quickly escaped an early takedown from Hamilton, and then worked to fend off another against the cage. Ngannou latched on a kimura grip, took Hamilton down, and finished the armlock with seeming ease in the very first round.
