Two epic fights were announced during last night’s UFC Fight Night 88 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, and they feature some seriously great match ups. First off we’ll take a look at the former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum’s next fight. ‘Vai Cavalo’ lost the title against Stipe Miocic in his first attempted defense at UFC 198. Thje Croatian silenced the Brazilian crowds with a monstrous one punch knockout, sending the home town favorite face first and out cold on the canvas.

During the broadcast of UFC Fight Night 88, it was confirmed Werdum would be returning against Ben Rothwell, and the target event is UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio. Sound familiar? Yep, that’s where Stipe Miocic will hope to defend his newly acquired belt against Alistair Overeem.

After victories over Fedor Emelianenko and Cain Velasquez, Werdum was being talked about as the greatest heavyweight of all time, and he’ll face a stern challenge in ‘Big Ben.’ Rothwell has taken out Alistair Overeem, Matt Mitrione and Josh Barnett, but was snubbed by a rampant Junior dos Santos at UFC Fight Night 86. The winner of this bout will be making clear headway in the 265-pound division.

On to another former heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski has been pitted against ‘Warmaster’ Josh Barnett.

The number six ranked ‘Pitbull’ suffered a streak ending loss to Stipe Miocic, followed by a crushing UFC Rotterdam loss to Alistair Overeem. After defeating Roy Nelson, the highly regarded catch wrestler Barnett was shockingly submitted by Ben Rothwell, and now will look to get back to winning ways at the UFC Hamburg event on September 3rd.

Also bookedin for the event is a light-heavyweight showdown between Ryan Bader and Ilir Latifi. As per the UFC’s official Facebook page:

It’s widely believed that former title challenger Alexander Gustafsson will return to action in Hamburg too, although at the moment nothing is official.

The mixed martial arts world was treated to an excellent night of scraps tonight (May 29, 2016), as UFC Fight Night 88 popped off from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The evening was highlighted by the explosive brawl between Brazilian Thomas Almeida and Cody “No Love” Garbrandt.

The fans got exactly what they came to see, as the two undefeated bantamweight prospects turned in the slugfest we were all hoping for. It just didn’t last very long. The Team Alpha Male export proved too much for Almeida, shutting off the lights with a right hand to the jaw in the very first round.

The co-main event also saw a tense standup battle, as former bantamweight champion Renan Barao made his long-awaited move up the scale to 145 pounds. There to greet him was longtime slugger Jeremy Stephens.

The greeting turned out to be a rude one. “Lil Heathen” rocked Barao several times during their back-and-forth clash, earning a unanimous nod from the judges and putting the rest of the featherweight division on notice in the process.

See how the MMA Twittersphere reacted to these two excellent bouts:

With an opportunity to rise to the enviable position as the clear-cut future of the UFC bantamweight division, previously unranked knockout artist Cody Garbrandt delivered in the biggest spot of his career when he knocked out Thomas Almeida in the main event of tonight’s (Sun., May 29, 2016) UFC Fight Night 88 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It wasn’t all that close, either, as Garbrandt stalked and battered the massively hyped Almeida early and often to hand the young Brazilian his first-ever loss in MMA. Now owning four straight wins in the UFC, Garbrandt has stormed onto the 135-pound title picture and should be set for a high-profile bout next, possibly in the UFC’s Cleveland debut in his home state of Ohio this September.

For now, watch the full fight video highlights of “No Love’s” biggest win here:
