Alex Pereira

Likely earning himself a third combat sports outing against UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, or Jared Cannonier following tonight’s main event outing — Brazilian striking phenom, Alex Pereira manages to scoop the most high-profile victory of his professional mixed martial arts career to date, sleeping the #4 ranked, Sean Strickland with a brutal left hook knockout on the main card of UFC 276.

Pereira, who improves to 6-1 professionally with tonight’s victory, adds Strickland to prior Octagon successes against both Andreas Michailidis, and Bruno Silva.

Engaging in a complete kickboxing matchup with Strickland over the course of the two and a half minute affair, Pereira continually measured the streaking division contender, lining him up for a patented, winging left hook — before cannoning down with a further ground strike, rendering Strickland unconscious.

Sean O'Malley, Pedro Munhoz, UFC 276

Sean O’Malley vs. Pedro Munhoz was ruled a no-contest in round two at UFC 276.

Going into the bout on a three-fight win streak, Sean O’Malley faced a major jump in competition when he took on Pedro Munhoz, his first ranked opponent at tonight’s UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

O’Malley’s match with Munhoz opened the main card of the night. He secured a second-round finish with just two seconds left on the clock at the time of the submission. Munhoz began to chop away at O’Malley’s legs from the opening round. Although ‘Suga’ did a good job of checking many of those low kicks, Munhoz was able to land a considerable amount and appeared to be ahead on the scorecards.

In the second round, an unintentional eye poke from O’Malley would cause the referee to separate the men. Munhoz complained that he was unable to see out of the damaged eye. As a result, the contest was ruled a no-contest into the fourth minute of round two.

Jalin Turner continues to run through his lightweight competition amid a purple patch of form, handing City Kickboxing staple, Brad Riddell with a quickfire, 45-second guillotine choke in the featured preliminary bout of UFC 276 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Turner, who had yet to crack the lightweight top-15 ahead of his matchup with the New Zealander, is now likely to land in Riddell’s #14 place in the division come the release of the official rankings on Tuesday — wrapping the latter with a nasty guillotine.

San Bernardino native, Turner managed to get off to a bright start within the opening exchange, cracking Riddell with a stinging right hand, before just missing narrowly with a left high kick.

Sprawling straight into a guillotine choke attempt, Turner, managed to mount Riddell on top — forcing an eventual tap from the latter to score his fifth consecutive triumph.
