Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Former UFC strawweight championship challenger, Karolina Kowalkiewicz scores her second consecutive victory tonight on the preliminary card of UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden — clinching a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) win over Silvana Gomez Juarez, despite some scorecard confusion.

Kowalkiewicz, a former KSW flyweight champion, managed to do some good work on the back of Argentina native, Gomez Juarez in the opening frame, however, was unable to secure a rear-naked choke after some considerable hand fighting.

Sharing a tight and tenuous second frame in the Octagon, Polish fan favorite, Kowalkiewicz managed to pull away, however, scoring the third and final round.

Awaiting the official judging announcement from veteran Octagon announcer, Bruce Buffer, both Kowalkiewicz, and Gomez Juarez were made to wait some considerable time, as a NYSAC (New York State Atheltic Commissioner) entered the Octagon and appeared to alter a mistaken scorecard, before Kowalkiewicz emerged victorious.

UFC 275 went above and beyond fan expectations and made a case as one of the best cards of the year so far. The event featured some action-packed fights and amazing finishes, prompting the UFC to hand out 5 Performance of the Night bonuses in addition to a Fight of the Night.

Silvana Gómez Juárez took home the first individual bonus thanks to her first-round knockout of Na Liang. Juárez rocked Liang with a straight right before following up with a combination that sent Liang to the canvas. The win was Juárez’s first in the UFC after losing her first two bouts via armbar.

Hayishaer Maheshate was awarded the second Performance of the Night bonus for his explosive debut against Steve Garcia. The 22-year-old fighter earned a contract on Contender Series 2021 and announced himself to the UFC with a perfectly-timed counter shot that stopped Garcia just over a minute into their fight.

Jack Della Maddalena picked up a bonus and his second UFC win when he stopped Ramazan Emeev in the opening fight of the main card. The Australian had a chance to show off a bit of his skill on the ground before teeing off on Emeev and landing a body shot that brought the Russian to his knees.

Originally scheduled as the featured prelim, Jake Matthews made the most of his main card fight with Andre Fialho and took home a bonus with arguably the biggest win of his career. The 27-year-old was able to out-strike Fialho through the first round and into the second before landing a right hand that finished the fight.

Former strawweight champion Weili Zhang took home a bonus for her performance in arguably the most-anticipated fight on the card. Taking on Joanna J?drzejczyk in a rematch of their 2020 title bout, Zhang landed a brutal spinning back fist about halfway through the fight that put the Polish fighter face-first on the canvas.

The final fight of the evening ended up taking Fight of the Night honors, as light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira and challenger Ji?í Procházka went to war in an instant classic. Both men had moments where they looked just seconds away from winning, with Teixeira eating some massive shots on the feet and Procházka somehow surviving on the ground.

Just when it seemed like things were bound for the scorecards, Procházka managed to grab a rear-naked choke and finish the fight with just under 30 seconds remaining.

What do you think of the bonuses for UFC 275? Do you agree with the UFC choosing to hand out extra ones for Performance of the Night?

Argentine strawweight, Silvana Gomez Juarez once again displays the vast power possessed in her hands on the early preliminary card of UFC 275 in Singapore — stopping Liang Na with a brutal, first round knockout — setting an early runner for a post-fight bonus.

Getting off the mark in the UFC following a pair of early losses to both Loopy Godinez, and then Vanessa Demopolos via armbar, Gomez managed to snap a two-fight slide and improve to 11-4 as a professional with tonight’s stoppage success against Na.

What an incredible rallying effort from Vanessa Demopoulos — who managed to recover from a massive opening round knockdown, courtesy of a huge overhand right from Silvana Gomez Juarez, quickly submitting the Mexico native with a slick armbar on the preliminary card of UFC 270.

Finding herself on the receiving end of a massive overhand right shot from Gomez Juarez, Demopoulos was dropped to the Octagon canvas, admitting her wits had momentarily left as a result of the shot.
