Another Saturday night, another UFC event in the books with last night’s (Sat., April 21, 2018) UFC Fight Night 128 from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
There were blistering knockouts that thrilled the Atlantic City crowd, but nary a submission throughout all ten fights.
Kevin Lee and David Branch delivered and others faltered, but overall the event was a lively one.
With that said, let’s take a look at the biggest winners and losers from UFC Atlantic City.
Lee bounced back from a submission loss to Tony Ferguson by destroying feared striker Edson Barboza.
Lee’s ground and pound was absolutely brutal, punishing Barboza until the fight was stopped in the fifth round. It was just a dominant performance from Lee, who certainly needed a victory to erase that Ferguson loss, which cost him a chance at UFC gold.
Lee could be a serious contender in the lightweight division, and Saturday’s win over Barboza places him right on track for title contention.
Perhaps a rematch with Al Iaquinta would be a good fight for Lee.

Both needing a win to cement their status in a talented division, David Branch and Thiago Santos faced off on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., April 21, 2018) UFC Fight Night 128 from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The No. 8-ranked Branch returned to the UFC last year after winning the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) light heavyweight and middleweight titles following an unsuccessful octagon run in 2010-2011. He produced mixed results in his second UFC run thus far, winning a boring split decision over Krzysztof Jotko before getting finished by former champ Luke Rockhold.
The No. 12-ranked Santos, on the other hand, was on a steamrolling win streak with four straight TKO victories. Quietly tied with Anderson Silva for the most striking finishes in UFC middleweight history, ‘Marreta’ was set to explode into the top 10 with a win.
Clearly, Santos was looking to make it a kickboxing match while Branch was most likely looking to make the bout far dirtier in order to drag it to the ground. The bout began with Santos throwing one of his trademark high kicks. He followed with a body and leg kick. Santos landed a left hook and kept throwing heavy strikes as advertised, but Branch countered a few times. The fight was a bit tentative, but Santos again threw some big shots.
Then, it was all over in a flash.
The more measured Branch unloaded a monstrous knockout shot from out of nowhere, flooring ‘Marreta’ and ending his four-fight win streak in a flash.
Final Result: David Branch def. Thiago Santos via R1 KO (punches, 2:30)

The UFC returned to Brazil on Saturday (February 3, 2018) with UFC Fight Night 125 from Arena Guilherme Paraense in Belém, featuring a hometown hero with his back against the wall and yet another last-minute cancellation of a co-main event.
Fight fans once again had to sit through a five-plus hour event on FOX Sports 1 and a main card covered in decisions.
For those who watched the entire UFC Fight Night in Belem, let’s take a look at the five best fights to make after Saturday night.
Kind of bizarre to pair a guy who just knocked out Machida with a guy who just narrowly lost to him, but honestly, both Brunson and Anders find themselves in a very similar position within the middleweight division.
With Brunson coming off of another loss to Ronald “Jacare” Souza, he will need another mid-tier fighter to work his way back up. Brunson looks like a world beater against the top 10-15, but once he gets a top 5 middleweight, he usually ends up losing. However, that’s not to say he can’t make the adjustments to compete with the top 5, but he’ll need another solid win against a proper dance partner to accomplish that task.
Enter Anders, who was undefeated before Saturday and still has massive upside in an extremely close decision loss to “The Dragon”. A win over Brunson would do wonders for Anders, and the same can be said for Brunson.

UFC Fight Night 125 emanated from Arena Guilherme Paraense in Belem, Brazil tonight (Saturday, February 3, 2018). The headliner saw undefeated rising star Eryk Anders look for the biggest win of his career against the legend Lyoto Machida. Machida got the decision win, but the bonuses went elsewhere.
Co-headliner Valentina Shevchenko took care of business in ruthless and destructive fashion against overmatched newcomer Priscila Cachoeira. “Bullet” tagged the Brazilian with punches on the feet but quickly went for takedowns in each of the first two rounds. In top position, she sliced up Cachoeira with elbows and punches from the top. The fight should have been stopped much sooner, but Shevchenko took care of that herself too, getting the rear-naked choke in the second. She banks an extra $50,000 for her Performance of the Night.
The other Performance of the Night went to 37-year-old Iuri Alcantara, who continued to defy Father Time. The inconsistent Brazilian had a signature performance against Joe Soto, hurting the American with a body kick before pouncing with punches in the first round. With the win, Alcantara snapped a two-fight losing streak and breathed new life into his career. And he also took home an extra $50,000.
Fight of the Night honors went to middleweight sluggers Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith. Santos won by second-round TKO after hurting Smith with a body shot early in the frame. But the first round was a back-and-forth battle that saw Santos mounted at one point. The two later exchanged simultaneous standing elbows, but Smith got the worst of it. Rocked and knocked down, he had to cling to a takedown attempt to survive the first. He did not find much of a reprieve in the second. But both he and Santos will wake up tomorrow $50,000 richer for their entertaining scrap.
