Craig

Following their split draw last year in Brazil, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Paul ‘The Bearjew’ Craig holds bragging rights over mixed martial arts institute, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua via a second-round stoppage victory.

The Scottish Hit Squad mainstay utilised his wrestling on cue in the opening-frame to force veteran former PRIDE and UFC titleholder, Rua into grappling exchanges, and with a flurry of strikes from the back as Craig postured, Rua tapped to strikes.

Threatening with an anaconda finish in the first-round, Craig pulled Rua into his own guard, with the fan-favorite Curitiba native scrambling to his feet to see the second frame.

Forced to battle against the fence once again in the second round, Rua was taken down once again, despite a brief “oil check” attempt from the Chute Boxe trainee. Assuming back-mount and posturing, Craig, a prominant grappler from his back usually began raining down with strikes as he forced the 38-year-old Brazilian icon to submit to strikes.

Below, catch the highlights from Craig’s rematch victory over the decorated, Rua.

Moreno

With just a single-second remaining in the opening-round, streaking flyweight contender, Brandon Royval dislocated his right shoulder, with number-one contender, Brandon ‘The Assassin Baby’ Moreno able to finish with ground-and-pound – possibly sealing his status as the next challenger to the flyweight throne.

In a high-paced, action-packed opening frame which we’ve become accustomed to when either Moreno or Royvel enter the Octagon, the latter briefly threatened with a guillotine, before the former flirted with a possible twister setup.

With eyes firmly planted on tonight’s flyweight championship main event between Deiveson Figueiredo and Alex Perez, Moreno and Royval were involved in a probable title-eliminator. Scoring a stoppage with just a single-second remaining in the round, Moreno continued his short shots from half guard as Royval winced in pain.

With referee, Marc Goddard jumping to call a halt to the action, Royval began clutching at his right shoulder, which had appeared to pop from it’s socket, with head-coach Marc Montoya relieving his student from some agony as he relocated the extremity following the finish.

Below, catch the highlights from Moreno’s stoppage win over Royval – possibily earning him a crack at undisputed flyweight spoils.

Buckley

Joaquin ‘New Mansa’ Buckley’s star continues to rise. Fresh from a highlight-reel spinning-back kick knockout win over Impa Kasangany earlier this year, the 26-year-old moves to 2-1 in the promotion with a second-round flattening of Jordan ‘The Beverley Hills Ninja’ Wright.

Heaped with pressure following his stunning, jumping, spinning back-kick KO of Kasanganay in October, middleweight powerhouse, Buckley continued to streak with a massive second-round stoppage of the dangerous Wright.

Hurting the Antoni Hardonk and Vladimir Matyushenko trainee before the opening-round buzzer, Wright returned to his stool in back knick, before dropping to a defeat in the early goings of the second round.

Pressuring Wright early, Buckely, who plys his trade at Finney’s HIT Squad, forced Wright back to the fence, before unloading with a massive left hook, right hand combination, with Wright slumping to the canvas.

Following the win, Buckley spoke with UFC colour-commentator, Joe Rogan, and elected against naming rival, ‘The’ James Krause, although called for a UFC 257 pairing with the veteran on January 23rd.

Below, check out Buckley’s stunning second-round stoppage of Wright.

Shevchenko

Earlier this year opposite one-time UFC flyweight title challenger and fellow UFC 255 feature, Katlyn ‘Blonde Fighter’ Chookagian, elder Shevchenko sister, Antonina looked bemused during the numerous grappling exchanges.

Against former KSW flyweight champion, Ariane Lipski, striking ace, Shevchenko utilised some rare wrestling of her own in both the opening and second round on her way to a swarming ground-and-pound stoppage of the Brazilian.

Engaging and initiating the grappling scenario in the first-round, the Kyrgyzstan native almost gave up her back to recent kneebar finisher, Lipski, but managed to ride out a potentially hazardous moment until the closure of the frame.

Utilising her whizzer, Shevchenko assumed half-guard in the center of the Octagon, and began raining down with strikes to a shelled up Lipski, forcing referee, Chris Tognoni to jump to the Brazilian’s safety at Antonina returned to the winner’s enclosure, and marked a winning start for Team Shevchenko ahead of Valentina’s title defence against Lipski’s compatriot, Jennifer Maia later tonight.

Below, catch the highlights from Antonina Shevchenko’s stoppage win over Ariane Lipski.
