LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 21: Edwards vs. Muhammad results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 13th. March 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event honours in the promotion’s return to a ‘Fight Night’ schedule, the #3 ranked welterweight contender, Leon Edwards features for the first time since UFC Fight Night San Antonio all the way back in July of 2019 — clashing with short-notice headliner, Belal Muhammad.

Forced to find a reworked opponent, Edwards was originally booked to match with uber-prospect, Khamzat Chimaev after two prior failed outings, with the Chechen-born finisher unable to obtain medical clearance to prepare for and compete on tonight’s card.

Winning eight on the trot, the Birmingham native has managed to score notable victories over the likes of former lightweight titleholder, Rafael dos Anjos, Gunnar Nelson, Donald Cerrone, Bryan Barberena, and common-foe, Vicente Luque.

For Chicago native, Muhammad, he makes a short-notice return, matching with Edwards off the back of a unanimous decision shutout victory over Dhiego Lima just last month at UFC 258. The Palestine born contender, who currently sits at #13 in the official welterweight stack — himself taking eight wins in his last nine Octagon outings.

In tonight’s co-main event, tricky grappler, Misha Cirkunov returns as he draws former LFA light heavyweight best, Ryan Spann. Cirkunov enters the matchup off the back of impressive Peruvian neck tie submission win over rising contender, Jimmy Crute, While Spann saw his eight fight winning spree halted by the charismatic, Johnny Walker in September at UFC Vegas 11.

Paulo Costa Claims He Fought Israel Adesanya With A Hangover After Drinking A Bottle Of Wine

Recent UFC 253 middleweight title challenger, Paulo Costa has claimed that he was dealing with a hangover during his ‘Fight Island’ title challenge against Israel Adesanya last September — after he had drunk a bottle of wine in the early hours of the night ahead of his morning outing. Costa, who is scheduled to headline […]

Costa, who is scheduled to headline a UFC Fight Night event on April 17 against former champion, Robert Whittaker, dropped a one-sided second round knockout defeat to the Nigerian-Kiwi in Abu Dhabi, UAE in September, suffering his first professional defeat.

The Belo Horizonte striker saw his front leg chopped by damaging kicks by Adesanya, before eating a massive high kick in the second frame in the lead up to the finish. Clipped with a counter hook in the pocket, Costa was dropped by Adesanya who assumed posture from guard and laid waste to the Brazilian with a couple of ground strikes.

It was a largely tentative display from Costa, who is known to dictate the pace of a fight with his pressure and forward pace, which found him great success against the likes of Yoel Romero, Johny Hendricks, and Uriah Hall with this approach.

Speaking on his official YouTube channel ahead of his clash with the aforenoted, Whittaker, Costa claimed he consumed an entire bottle of wine in the hours before his matchup with Adesanya in an attempt to get “black out” drunk — so he could find some sleep.

“I was kind of drunk (when) I fought, maybe, on (sic) hangover,” Costa said. “I couldn’t sleep because of the (leg) cramps. Keep in mind that the fight happens at 9 a.m. (local time), we have to wake up at 5 (a.m.) to get ready, stretch, wrap the hands. The UFC told us to wake up at 5 in the morning to go to the arena to fight. I hadn’t slept until 2:30 (a.m).“

“It was my mistake and I don’t blame anyone else, it was something I chose (to do), but, in order to try to sleep, because I had to sleep since I was awake for twenty-four hours, I had wine, too much wine, a bottle (of wine) to try to black out. I had a glass and didn’t work. Two glasses, it didn’t work. Half bottle, didn’t work. I had it all.” (H/T MMA Fighting)

Tasked with returning to the winner’s enclosure for the first time in his career against Whittaker — Costa meets with the former champion who enters off the back of a pair of unanimous decision wins in 2020 over both Darren Till and Jared Cannonier.

Ciryl Gane Plans To Make Title Run After WIn Over Jairzinho Rozenstruik

In a largely tentative and tepid UFC Vegas 20 headliner, French standout, Ciryl Gane took home a one-sided unanimous decision win over a lacklustre, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and off the back of his first promotional headliner, Gane plans to make a title run in the ever-evolving heavyweight division. Utilising his almost unrivalled movement and distance management […]

Utilising his almost unrivalled movement and distance management at the weight class, Gane took a straight forward 50-45 unanimous decision win on all three judge’s scorecards. And come the release of the official rankings over the course of next week, the Ferland Lopez and MMA Factory staple is likely to claim the faltering, Rozenstruik’s #4 rank at heavyweight.

Finding his way in the clinch on occasion, Gane dominated largely on the feet, as Rozenstruik failed to ever get his feet moving in a positive, forward pressing motion — as he looked to counter as usual off his back foot. Pot shotting the Suriname kickboxer on cue, Gane found his target with both oblique and stiff calf kicks, as well as a whipping jab from his southpaw right to comfortably outpoint the now 11-2 striker.

Following on the heels of Derrick Lewis’ stunning knockout win over Curtis Blaydes last weekend at UFC Vegas 19, Gane spoke with press assembled following last night’s win — detailing how he’s “legit” and how he plans to make a siege to the heavyweight title next.

“I’m legit,” Gane said. “I’m undefeated and I’m the only one undefeated in this division in the rankings. I think I’m legit. I want to say it to everybody: In the next months, if you have a place, if someone has an injury, I’m here. I’m here, man.“

Taking relatively no substantial damage against Rozenstruik, Gane had claimed that he would be open to filling in on short notice for either Stipe Miocic, or former teammate Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 at the end of March in a title clash.
If his services aren’t required on short-notice, however, Gane still has championship aspirations in the not too distant future.

“I talked with my coach (Fernand Lopez) and he said if I win this weekend, I’m going to go after the belt,” Gane said. “It doesn’t matter who or how — we’re going to go after the belt now.“

With the win, Gane improved to 5-0 in the UFC, notching previous victories over Raphael Pessoa, Don’Tale Mayes, Tanner Boser, and Junior dos Santos.

Ciryl Gane Earns One-Sided Decision Win Over Jairzinho Rozenstruik – UFC Vegas 20 Highlights

Still undefeated. Improving to 8-0 — Ciryl ‘Bon Gamin’ Gane scores his fifth promotional victory, taking home a dominant unanimous judging win over monstrous striker, Jairzinho ‘Bigi Boy’ Rozenstruik. A lot of feints and pops from the shoulders of Ciryl Gane to get the first round started, before he fires off a lightening fast southpaw […]

A lot of feints and pops from the shoulders of Ciryl Gane to get the first round started, before he fires off a lightening fast southpaw jab — grabbing Rozenstruik’s attention, who as usual, looked to play counter. Decent left hand for Rozenstruik lands after he briefly catches a body kick attempt from Gane. Faking another body kick, Gane launched a solid straight right hand before closing the distance and clinching. Takedown secured for Gane, however, Rozenstruik retains his full guard before closure of the opening round. 10-9 Gane.

Patience opening to the second again from Gane while Rozenstruik continues to attempt to fire off counter shots. Rozenstruik then rushes forward with Gane level changing, circling and putting the Suriname native back on the fence before almost scoring a stunning outside trip takedown. Another 10-9 for Gane. Rozenstruik yet to find his mark with any substancial counters.

A tad more lively midway through the third with both Rozenstruik and Gane trading for a moment in the middle of the Octagon. Gane working well from his southpaw right side, bouncing well on the balls of his feet and mixing up his strikes. 10-9 again for Gane who is utilizing his movement well to evade some counters from Rozenstruik, although, they are coming few and far between.

Jump knee to the body for Gane finds it’s target on the right hand side of Rozenstruik’s midsection — with the latter still yet to get out of the starting blocks at all really here in the fourth. Another knee entry from Gane catches Rozenstruik just above the cup it seems, however, we get a brief stoppage in the action. Another 10-9 for Gane who scores a decent check left hook at the fence before the klaxon. Rozenstruik in need of a finish here.

Briefly taking Rozenstruik’s back in a less than eventful round, Gane took the final round with another 10-9 — scoring a dominant 50-45 unanimous decision victory.

Below, check out the highlights from Gane’s striking masterclass win over Rozenstruik.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 20: Rozenstruik vs. Gane results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 27th. February 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pushing forward with a second consecutive headliner, the UFC field a pivotal division clash between kickboxing ace, the heavy-hitting talent, Jairzinho ‘Bigi Boy’ Rozenstruik and dynamic French uber-prospect, Ciryl ‘Bon Gamin’ Gane in a mouth-watering matchup.

Both coming off statement knockout victories over former undisputed heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos — Rozenstruik rebounded from a May knockout defeat to incoming title challenger, Francis Ngannou to stop the Brazilian at UFC 250 in June — with second round strikes.

Improving his undefeated professional record to 7-0, Fernand Lopez product and MMA Factory mainstay, Gane stuck a massive elbow to stop dos Santos also in the second round — moving to 4-0 under the UFC’s banner.

In an important light heavyweight matchup, former Fight Nights Global titleholder, Nikita Krylov makes his Octgon return as he draws the highly-touted, Magomed Ankalaev in an important clash for the light heavyweight landscape.

Ukrainian finisher, Krylov has notched a whopping fifteen submission wins, as well as a further ten knockout stoppages — most recently taking his first career decision victory in a UFC Fight Night Brasilia judging win over Johnny Walker last March.

Removing any doubt surrounding his first knockout win over Ion Cutelaba at UFC Fight Night Norfolk last February, Ankalaev moved to 2-0 against the Romanian via a late first frame stoppage at UFC 254 last October on ‘Fight Island’ — moving to 14-1 as a professional and extending his promotional-streak to five-fights.
