Thiago Santos

One-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger, the #5 ranked, Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos has brought a halt to his disappointing three-fight losing skid, with a rather forgettable unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47) win over compatriot, Johnny Walker.

In a rather hesitant performance from both contenders, in a main event bout which promised fireworks on paper, at least, Santos managed to snap his three-fight losing skid — narrowly edging out Straight Blast Gym mover, Walker over the course of five rounds.

With both content to attempt to counter one another over the course of the 25-minute main event, the headlining bout left very little to write home about, with Santos landing impactful left body kicks on occasion as Walker circled and defended.

In arguably the biggest moment of the night, Santos managed to uncork a massive overhand left, which appeared to land, somewhat clean, at least on Walker, who beckoned him to walk forward — a request which was left unanswered.

Below, catch the highlights from Santos’ win over Walker at UFC Vegas 38.

Kevin Holland

We’ve got a rather anti-climatic finish to this evening’s UFC Vegas 38 co-headliner, with Kevin Holland vs. Kyle Daukaus officially ruled as a ‘No Contest’ at the end of the first round, due to a clash of heads earlier in the opening frame.

Tying up in the clinch in the opening round, Holland, who had spent considerable time working in tandem with former UFC welterweight champion, Johny Hendricks to improve his wrestling ability, managed to defend several takedown attempts form Philidelphia native Daukaus.

With a pause in the action and a separation due to inactivity, Holland and Daukaus returned to the center where the latter felt the brunt of a head clash, which appeared to knock him unconscious before he faceplanted into the Octagon canvas.

Scrambling to survive as referee, Dan Miragliotta called for a replay, Holland survived a D’Arce choke attempt from Daukaus, before succumbing to a standing rear-naked choke.

Upon review from referee, Miragliotta as well as the Nevada State Athletic Commission at Octagon-side, the bout was ruled an official ‘No Contest’.

Alexander Volkanovski

UFC 266 has just produced a sure fire contender for Fight of the Year — as Alexander Volkanovski gritted through some worrying submission threats to take home a unanimous decision victory over a bloodied, bruised, and battered Brian Ortega in a unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45, 50-44) victory.

Both have their respective moments in that opening round, drawing blood from the region of each of their left eyes. The round spent entirely on the feet with Volkanovski pressing and leading the dance with crisp boxing, whilst Ortega counters with a stiff left from the fence, finding his range with more power it would seem.

Another round in the books for the defending champion it appears, with the second round almost mirroring the first round in regards to how both men got off with their respective offense. Ortega’s corner looking for more urgency, while Volkanovski urged to implement some more leg kicks.

In an incredible round, Volkanovski almost suffered a mounted guillotine loss after Ortega fell into his guard before mounting after a cracking counter striker dropped him. Somehow surviving, Ortega then managed to set up a triangle, which Volkanovski gutted through as well. Before the close of the round, the champion rained down with massive ground strikes, causing serious swelling to the eye and forehead of Ortega, which drew the Octagon-side physician’s attention.

Another completely dominant round from Volkanovski who continued to slice and bruise Ortega with devastating ground strikes, stacking the guard and bloodying the challenger, who looked extremely fatigued and worse for wear in his corner heading into the last frame.

Ortega looks much better in the fifth, cracking and drawing a reaction from Volkanovski at the end of the round, however, the New South Wales native, with enough water in the basement, successfully takes a decision win and defends his crown.
