Earlier today (Sat. September 7, 2019) in the main event of UFC 242 on pay-per-view (PPV), a lightweight title unification fight took place between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.

Nurmagomedov last defended his title against Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 229 last October. However, the post-fight brawl that he started afterwards resulted in a suspension for the lightweight champion. With the division stalling, the UFC decided to crown a new interim champion. Poirier got his chance and shocked the world by outpointing featherweight champion Max Holloway to claim UFC gold.

They finally met to unify the titles and it was Nurmagomedov who came out on top. The first round was vintage Nurmagomedov as he took Poirier down and controlled him for majority of the five minutes while landing strikes and attempting submissions. Poirier improved in the second round by throwing more volume but was taken down by “The Eagle” who controlled him for the rest of the round. The third round saw “The Diamond” attempt a guillotine choke while being taken down by Nurmagomedov. However, he never truly locked it in as the Dagestan native went on to lock in the rear-naked choke submission to win the contest.

Earlier today (Sat. September 7, 2019) in the co-main event of UFC 242 on pay-per-view (PPV), an excellent lightweight matchup took place between Edson Barboza and Paul Felder.

This was a rematch from their initial meeting back in July of 2015, where the Brazilian emerged victorious via unanimous decision. Barboza came into the fight dropping three of his last four. In his last outing, he was knocked out cold by Justin Gaethje in March. As for Felder, he came into the contest winning four of his past five bouts, with his last outing being a unanimous decision win over James Vick in February.

And “The Irish Dragon” was able to make it two wins in a row by defeating Barboza via split decision. The first round saw a kickboxing match with Barboza landing many of his patented leg and switch kicks while bloodying up Felder.

However, Felder made the adjustment and started attacking with more volume in the second round, hurting and bloodying Barboza to the point where he resorted to a takedown attempt. The third stanza saw a more even back-and-forth, but it was Felder who advanced more and landed the more significant strikes.

In the end, Felder won through scorecards of 27-30, 29-28 and 30-27 to make it five wins in his last six outings.
