Daniel ‘D-Rod’ Rodriguez has recorded the most high-profile victory of his professional career, exacting a striking clinic to take home a dominant, one-sided unanimous decision win over ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry to open the UFC Vegas 23 main card.

Utilising some of the sharpest boxing on display in recent events, the Los Angeles native, who has spent some considerable time training alongside future UFC Hall of Fame inductee, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at the BMF Ranch — dominated Perry on the feet from start to finish.

Busting up the polarizing Flint, Michigan native in the opening round, Rodriguez ultimately left Perry covered in claret by the end of the third round — likely breaking the latter’s nose in the opening frame to boot.

Despite suffering two successful takedowns from Perry from three attempts, it was majorly plain sailing for Rodriguez — who now improves to 4-1 under the promotion’s banner.

Below, catch the highlights from Rodriguez’s one-sided unanimous judging triumph over Perry.

Gamrot

Former two-weight KSW champion, Mateusz ‘Gamer’ Gamrot is off the mark in the UFC — via an impressive second round knockout win over division mainstay, Scott ‘Hot Sauce’ Holtzman on the preliminary section of UFC Vegas 23.

Dropping his first professional loss last year on ‘Fight Island’ — the Pole suffered a competitive decision loss to Georgian standout, Guram Kutateladze.

Utisling his forward pressure and even scoring a breif takedown in the opening round via a transition from single-leg to a double variant, Gamrot got the attention of Holtzman, clipping him just above the ear despite some verbal disagreements from the latter.

Setting up the finish in the opening minute of the second, Gamrot, now under the tutelage of Mike Brown at American Top Team for the last three months, dropped Holtzman with a one-two combination before swarming with ground strikes. Timely and correct stoppage from Jason Herzog.

Below, catch the highlights from Gamrot’s first promotional win against Holtzman.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 10th. April 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in a short-notice clash, surging middleweight contender, Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori headlines his second straight promotional event, as does short-notice replacement, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland — who replaces former welterweight title challenger, Darren Till who suffered a broken collarbone last week.

Arriving off the back of a unanimous decision victory over former Cage Warriors welterweight titleholder, Jack Hermansson in December, Kings MMA staple, Vettori extended his undefeated streak to four-fights. With his most recnet loss coming in April 2018 in the form of a split decision defeat to current champion, Israel Adesanya, the Trento native has scored wins over Cezar Ferreira, Andrew Sanchez, Karl Roberson, and Hermansson since.

Making a record-tying twenty-one day turnaround, Holland will attempt to return to the winner’s enclosure following a unanimous decision shutout loss to middleweight staple, Derek Brunson just three weeks ago at UFC Vegas 22.

The defeat snapped a five-fight undefeated surge for the 28-year-old striker, following successes over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley, Darren Stewart, Charlie Ontiveros, and a December knockout win over Jacare Souza.

In the co-headlining clash, streaking featherweights, Arnold Allen and Sodiq Yusuff in a bout which on paper, promises fireworks.

Derek Brunson

Derek Brunson has halted the surge of the #10 ranked, Kevin Holland — wrestling his way to six successful takedowns on his way to an impressive unanimous decision victory over five rounds.

Seizing on an early slip from Holland, Brunson landed a right hand, creating a scramble with the latter assuming full-guard. Dominant from the guard, Brunson managed to score a couple of ground strikes, with the North Carolina native landing with some significant power. Exchanging some words with Brunson from the bottom, Holland gave up the first round, in rather one-sided fashion.

Exchanging some words with the recently retired, Khabib Nurmagomedov who was sitting Octagon-side, Holland managed to wobble Brunson with some strikes, before the latter caught a kick and secured a second takedown. Threatening with an arm-triangle during a scramble, Brunson lost the position with a composed Holland controlling his breathing before scrambling back to his feet.

Dropping another takedown in the opening minute of the third round, Holland created another scramble after an armbar attempt, however, Brunson capitalized and assumed full guard again.

Scoring yet another takedown, Brunson, who appeared quite laboured between rounds, managed to lodge a fifth successful takedown.

Managing a takedown of his own in the first two minutes of the fifth and final round, Holland had Brunson on his back for the first time tonight. Returning to his feet, Brunson shot successfully with his sixth takedown of the night, putting Holland’s back to the Octagon fence yet again. Unanimous decision win in the book for the now four-fight streaking Brunson.

Grant Dawson

Grant Dawson has just turned in the second latest stoppage in the history of three round fights in the UFC. Landing a series of bludgeoning hammer-fists from the top against Leonardo Santos, Dawson turned in a 4:59 knockout stoppage to halt the Brazilian, leaving the judges out of the equation.

Making his divisional debut against Brazil’s Santos, Dawson improved to an eye-catching 17-1 professional, nabbing his seventh straight success to boot.

With the scorecards close to the consensus before the buzzer to signal the end of the third round and the bout as a whole, Dawson ultimately was leading the scoring on two of the three judges’ cards regardless, however, those scores weren’t needed with the 27-year-old Nebraska native securing a massive buzzer-beating stoppage.

Below, catch the highlights from Dawson’s massive finish over Santos.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 22: Brunson vs. Holland results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 20th. March 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event honours at tonight’s Fight Night event from the UFC Apex facility, a middleweight matchup with potentially top-five implications for the victor as division mainstay, Derek Brunson draws the charismatic, surging striker, Kevin Holland over five sanctioned rounds.

Attempting to lodge his fourth consecutive victory, North Carolina native, Brunson knocked back the surging Dana White‘s Contender Series alum, Edmen Shahbazyan in a short notice main event last August — finishing the Glendale Fight Club striker with a third round knockout. The victory came as the #7 ranked contender’s third on the trot, following a pair of unanimous jugding triumphs over both Ian Heinisch and Elias Theodorou.

Sitting at #10 in the official 185-pound pile, Californian finisher, Holland set a record in 2020 for the most wins for a middleweight in a calendar year, with a staggering five straight wins.

Most recently featuring in a short-notice UFC 256 appearance against common-opposition, Ronaldo Souza in December, the Travis Lutter Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt managed a stunning, innovative knockout victory over the grappling sensation — from his back. The victory following prior wins over Charlie Ontiveros, Darren Stewart, Joaquin Buckley, and Anthony Hernandez.
