Polarizing UFC bantamweight contender, Sean O’Malley is back in the winner’s enclosure, via a spectacular ground strike knockout win over gritty Brazilian Muay Thai ace, Thomas Almeida in the third round of their UFC 260 main card matchup.

Poised from round one to three, the Montana native rattled Almeida with a quite frankly massive left high-kick, with the Sao Paulo native somehow surviving the scare, as O’Malley made the mistake of attempting a walk-off finish — with referee Marc Smith urging him to keep fighting.

Eating his fair share of leg kicks in the second round, O’Malley countered Almeida well once more in the second, before landing the fight ending shot in the third and final frame.

Clipping an imcoming Almeida with a left hand, the Brazilian fell to his back on the canvas, before O’Malley sprang with a massive ground strike, knocking the Brazilian out cold to score his return to winning-ways.

Derek Brunson

Derek Brunson has halted the surge of the #10 ranked, Kevin Holland — wrestling his way to six successful takedowns on his way to an impressive unanimous decision victory over five rounds.

Seizing on an early slip from Holland, Brunson landed a right hand, creating a scramble with the latter assuming full-guard. Dominant from the guard, Brunson managed to score a couple of ground strikes, with the North Carolina native landing with some significant power. Exchanging some words with Brunson from the bottom, Holland gave up the first round, in rather one-sided fashion.

Exchanging some words with the recently retired, Khabib Nurmagomedov who was sitting Octagon-side, Holland managed to wobble Brunson with some strikes, before the latter caught a kick and secured a second takedown. Threatening with an arm-triangle during a scramble, Brunson lost the position with a composed Holland controlling his breathing before scrambling back to his feet.

Dropping another takedown in the opening minute of the third round, Holland created another scramble after an armbar attempt, however, Brunson capitalized and assumed full guard again.

Scoring yet another takedown, Brunson, who appeared quite laboured between rounds, managed to lodge a fifth successful takedown.

Managing a takedown of his own in the first two minutes of the fifth and final round, Holland had Brunson on his back for the first time tonight. Returning to his feet, Brunson shot successfully with his sixth takedown of the night, putting Holland’s back to the Octagon fence yet again. Unanimous decision win in the book for the now four-fight streaking Brunson.
