Holm

Former UFC bantamweight champion, Holly ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ Holm continues to set the standard at the top of the 135-pound pile. Clashing with slick boxer, Irene Aldana in tonight’s headliner, Holm secured her second-consecutive triumph with a unanimous judging victory over her #6 ranked peer.

In an opening round with much success for the former champion, Holm circled away from Aldana’s power right, utilizing her lengthy combinations and even scored a late takedown after some initial eye-catching defence from the #6 ranked Guadalajara native.

The second frame brought more of the same, with Aldana failing to mount any real significant offense. Again scoring an important takedown, Holm fired a side-kick to the mid-section once again, keeping Aldana at bay in between her not as common blitzes with her hands in that round.

A third round brought a third takedown for Holm, who threatened to force the issue as she established full-mount, postured up and began raining down with ground strikes. Surviving a pressuring barrage, Aldana failed to deal with the constant movement of the Jackson-Wink MMA mainstay.

Continuing a clinch and wrestler heavy trend, Holm scored her fourth successful takedown of the night with an outside trip, in a performance reminiscent of her decision triumph opposite former Invicta FC best, Megan Anderson. Aldana found some brief success in the final exchanges, landing a couple of left hands forcing her opposition to retreat.

With a fifth takedown in the final frame, Holm again almost removed the judges from the equation with a barrage in the last thirty-seconds, after scoring a massive patented left high kick after a grappling scramble. With Aldana gritting her way through – we see the judges scorecards.

Condit

Former interim UFC welterweight champion, ‘The Natural Born Killer’ Carlos Condit is back to winning ways for the first time since May of 2015.

The veteran 36-year-old looked at his once gleaming best again tonight opposite The Ultimate Fighter victor, fellow veteran, Court McGee – on his way to a unanimous decision (30-27 x3) victory. Utilising both orthodox and southpaw on cue, Condit varied his strikes with kicks and punches, targeting the body and head with aplomb. Making his mark toward the close of the first round, the Albuquerque native scored what seems to be a nasty break of McGee’s nose with a counter right hook, resulting in the fight’s sole knockdown.

Continuning his trend of creative striking beyond the opening frame, Condit turned up the heat and volume in the final round to bring a halt to a dissapointing five-fight slide for the stunning eighteen year veteran.

Below, catch highlights from Condit’s return to the win column against McGee.
