Rose Namajunas vs. Tecia Torres Full Fight Video Highlights

Rose Namajunas was on the rampage for revenge (and possibly a women’s 115-pound title shot) when she met Tecia Torres in the co-main event of tonight’s (Sat., April 16, 2016) UFC on FOX 19 from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. ‘The Tiny Tornado’ had already handed Namajunas a decision loss in Invicta FC when ‘Thug’

Rose Namajunas was on the rampage for revenge (and possibly a women’s 115-pound title shot) when she met Tecia Torres in the co-main event of tonight’s (Sat., April 16, 2016) UFC on FOX 19 from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

‘The Tiny Tornado’ had already handed Namajunas a decision loss in Invicta FC when ‘Thug’ was a much younger woman, and this time the Grudge Training Center contender was ready to come out on top.

In what turned out to be an impressively hard-fought bout, Namajunas outlasted Torres with an effective mix of striking and takedowns despite getting rocked by a big two-punch combo in the first round. It arguably could have gone either way, but Namajunas took home the close unanimous decision with a late takedown.

Rapidly ascending the women’s strawweight divisional ladder with three straight big wins, there’s not much to suggest ‘Thug’ Rose won’t be in the next women’s strawweight title affair after champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha finally settle their long-held feud at the culmination of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 23 in July.

Watch the highlights of Namajunas’ gritty win right here:

UFC on FOX 19 popped off tonight (Sat. April 16, 2016) on network television from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Despite losing the much anticipated lightweight contender bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, the night was not without compelling scraps or highly-ranked fighters.

The new main event pitted former champion Rashad Evans against former title challenger Glover Teixeira. The Brazilian won by scintillating first round knockout, finishing Evans for only the second time in his career. And the entertaining, back-and-forth battle between “Thug” Rose Namajunas and Tecia “Tiny Tornado” Torres became the new co-main event. See Twitter’s reaction to those two pivotal bouts here:

 

In other main card action, Khabib Nurmagomedov made his long-awaited return to the Octagon against late replacement Darrell Horcher. After a first round that saw “The Eagle” feel Horcher out and find his rhythm, he took over in round two for a ground and pound TKO from back mount. Here’s the reaction to Nurmagomedov’s return:

Also in the featured prelim, Michael “The Maverick” Chiesa locked up the biggest win of his career, submitting jiu jitsu wunderkind and #7 lightweight Beneil Dariush. Check out the reaction here:

UFC On FOX 19 Fighters To Watch From Daniel Cormier, Kenny Florian

daniel-cormier-ufc-tonight

With UFC on FOX 19 set for this Saturday night, the recent edition of “UFC Tonight” was used to promote the card.

Co-hosts Kenny Florian and Daniel Cormier each offered up a fighter to watch, with both sticking away from the “obvious” selections and digging a little deeper.

Florian picked Rose Namajunas, who meets Tecia Torres in the new co-main event in a likely title-eliminator bout at strawweight.

“Rose Namajunas is a completely different fighter than the one you saw in the Ultimate Fighter finale,” Florian said. “Everything is really coming together for her not only on a technical level but mentally she is just way more mature as a fighter. She can really do it all.”

For Cormier, he went with Islam Makhachev, as the Sambo world champion takes on Drew Dober in a lightweight bout that kicks off the televised prelims.

“My fighter to watch is Islam Makhachev. He lost his last fight but had moved up very fast,” Cormier said. “This young man is unbelievable. In the time since his last fight, he’s won another Sambo World Championship. I’ve been with him in training camp, the dude is a monster with unbelievable wrestling and great cardio.”
