Barboza

Talk about a bizarre ending to a fight. Edson Barboza improves to 2-1 at the featherweight limit, stopping the #9 ranked, Shane Burgos with a hugely unique one-punch knockout of the Bronx native, who appeared to display a dalyed reaction following the fight ending blow.

Trading in the pocket from the opening round onwards, Barboza and Burgos fired off notable counters against each others, as both attempted to find their mark with punishing, numerous calf kick attempts.

More than likely taking the first two rounds on the majority of judges’ scorecards, Barboza made sure those cards weren’t needed come the end of the constest, launching massive, swift overhand right on Burgos’ chin inside the opening minute of the final frame.

Appearing to first absorb the shot and begin to plod forward, Burgos’ legs then began to buckle as he reverted backward, collided with the Octagon fence, unconcious and falling face-first to the canvas in one of the most bizarre knockouts the Octagon has ever hosted.

Below, catch the highlights from Barboza and Burgos’ Fight of the Night display.

What a statement making performance from Dana White’s Contender Series product, Andre ‘Sergipano’ Muniz. Headlining the preliminary portion of UFC 262, the upstart broke multiple time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion, Jacare Souza’s right arm with a late armbar attempt in the opening round.

Scoring the biggest victory of his professional career, the TATA Fight Team mainstay matched with compatriot, Souza to headline the promotion’s preliminary portion of UFC 262, hoping to extend his promotional perfect run to three straight fights.

Taking Souza’s back at the fence, Muniz rode too high as he attempted to secure his hooks and possibly set up a rear-naked choke, however, with Souza’s right arm trapped between Muniz’s arm and upper body, as the latter twisted and bellyed down on the canvas, an audible snap could be heard as Souza’s upper arm appeared to have broken.

Below, check out the highlights from Muniz’s submission stoppage of Jacare.

Hometown Texan favourite, Andrea ‘KBG’ Lee has snapped her three-fight slide under the UFC’s banner, scoring a buzzer-beating second round armbar with over Antonina Shevchenko during the preliminary section of UFC 262.

Involved in largely a striking battle in the opening round, Lee got to work early in the second, scoring a pair of impactful judo throws on Shevchenko, before assuming full mount momentarily.

Setting up a mounted triangle, Lee then transitioned to her back before attempting to create an angle to find the finish for the following three minutes and change.

Transitioning between a triangle and an armbar as Shevchenko, the elder sister of undisputed flyweight queen, Valentina Shevchenko defended well. Throwing up an armbar before the ten-second in-round warning, Lee eventually forced the tap from Shevchenko — scoring her first victory since June of 2019.

Talk about an emphatic return to the Octagon for Gregor Gillespie. Matching with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Diego Ferreira on the main card fo UFC Vegas 26 in a catchweight contest, the wrestling maestro stopped the Brazilian with a rallying second round ground strikes effort.

Making his first Octagon walk since a stunning high-kick knockout loss to former interim lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee back in December of 2019 at UFC 245 — Gillespie survived some early opening round adversity.

Struggling to get Fortis MMA trainee, Ferreira down on cue with his takedowns, Gillespie was swept on occasion when he eventually ended up on the mat, but most notably, staggered back to his corner between rounds after eating some heavy counter strikes.

With Ferreira severely fatigued within the opening couple of minutes of the second round, Gillespie started to find his own second wind, before forcing Ferreira to his stomach, eventually forcing referee, Chris Tognoni to stop the bout amid a slew of ground strikes.

Prochazka

Czech Republic standout, Jiri ‘Denisa’ Prochazka will likely compete for UFC light heavyweight gold in his next outing — and with good reason. Headlining UFC Vegas 25, the unorthodox striker stopped former title challenger, Dominick Reyes with a vicious spinning back elbow in the second round.

Bringing his reckless and unconventional style in tandem with him to the Octagon for the main event, Prochazka broke Reyes’ nose in the first round with massive straights and combinations at the fence, likely taking the round with a 10-9 on all three judge’s scorecards.

Despite starting well in the second after some of the adversity in the opening, Reyes was still eating some significant shots at the fence — with blood leaking from his nose, which he had broken just last September against current light heavyweight best, Jan Blachowicz.

Wobbling Prochazka and forcing a double-leg takedown attempt from the #5 ranked contender, Reyes pulled guard for a guillotine, however, Prochazka eventually slipped his head out.

Returning to the feet, Prochazka once more backed the Hesperia native back to the fence and following an elbow on the break, Prochazka spun with a devastating spinning back elbow, knocking Reyes unconscious, who fell face-first to the Octagon canvas.

Below, catch the highlights from Prochazka’s stunning knockout win over Reyes.
