Topuria

Former Brave CF and Cage Warriors feature, Ilia ‘El Matador’ Topuria remains undefeated and improves his professional mixed martial arts record to 11-0 — stopping the tricky grappler, Ryan Hall with late ground strikes in the opening round of their UFC 264 clash.

Improving to 3-0 in the UFC, Georgian native, Topuria debuted with a unanimous decision win over Youssef Zalal before lodging an impressive knockout win over Damon Jackson back in December of last year.

Meeting with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Hall, who more often than not incorporates an elusive, really unorthodox style — Topuria avoided Imanari rolls and heel hook attempts from Hall in the opening round, before scoring a late knockout victory after weaving through guard and laying down a flurry of strikes to a grounded Hall.

Gane

#3 ranked UFC heavyweight contender remains undefeated in his professional career — taking home his second victory of the year, in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision triumph against top-five opponent, Alexander Volkov.

Frenchman, Gane takes the opening round just about with a 10-9 based on accuracy and activity — landing a whipping jab as well as a notable volley of leg kicks and body strikes. Volkov most certainly replying, however.

Another round in the books for Gane in the second, who is starting to put a pace on Volkov, as he attempts to counter with his lengthy lower limbs.

With a lot more urgency in the third round, Gane managed to draw some blood from the nose of Volkov who was largely a sitting duck in that frame. Gane’s jab and uppercuts finding their target. 30-27 heading into the fourth round.

Another round in the books for Gane and water firmly in the basement heading into the fifth. Volkov in need of a finish here in this potential heavyweight title-eliminator.

A really bad eye poke landed against Gane, leaving Volkov in need of some time to recover — with the Frenchman winning the round so far up until the unintentional foul. With the #5 ranked, Volkov able to continue following the foul, the fight goes the distance, with Gane taking home a unanimous decision victory.

Boser

Tanner ‘The Bulldozer’ Bozer has snapped his two-fight losing skid, via a second round clubbing of former interim UFC light heavyweight title challenger, Ovince Saint Preux — despite what appeared to be a fence grab prior to the stoppage.

Putting a pace on Knoxville native, Saint Preux early from the opening exchange, Canadian puncher, Boser forced him to fight with his back off the fence for the majority of the bout.

In some controversial circumstances in the second round in the run up to the finish, Boser, who was flat on the canvas, managed to scoot his way back to the Octagon fence. And appears to have at least used the fence in some sort of way to initiate a get-up back to his feet, as referee, Jason Herzog swatted his hand away from the fence.

Capatilising on the positional change as a result, Boser circle, and clipped Saint Preux with a knee, before a clubbing right hand, sending the veteran to the canvas — and lodging his fourth Octagon victory.

Nzechukwu

Imo State-born striker, Kennedy ‘African Savage’ Nzechukwu was once more forced to rally from some early round adversity — and answered those questions once more in the form of a rallying third round knockout victory over Brazilian grappler, Danilo Marques in the featured prelim bout of UFC Vegas 30.

Now undefeated in his last three and improving to 9-1 as a professional, Nzechukwu gave up his back early in the first round against Marques, who climbed from a standing position and locked a body triangle at the fence, arguably taking the frame with a 10-8 margain.

In the second, Marques was once more able to utilise his grappling, but appeared to be fatiguing quite drastically. In the opening seconds of the third round, Marques was backed up to the Octagon fence himself as Nzechukwu began unloading with winging hooks and straights. As a sitting duck shelling up, Marques was left in no position to continue, with referee, Jason Herzog separating the two — handing Nzechukwu his second consecutive knockout win.

Below, catch the highlights from Nzechukwu’s rallying effort against Marques.
