Bantamweight division upstart, Raul Rosas Jr. is now riding a two-fight winning run for the first time in his Octagon tenure off the back of tonight’s submission win — laying waste to Ricky Turcios with a second round rear-naked choke at UFC Louisville in the pair’s main card clash.

Rosas Jr. — a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, initially made good on his landing in the organization, turning in a dominant submission win over Jay Perrin — before dropping an upset loss to Christian Rodriguez over the course of three rounds in a decision blemish.

Rebounding to winning ways back in August of last year, Raul Rosas Jr. matched up with Terence Mitchell, needing less than a minute to score a TKO win from ground strikes.

And re-matched with Turcios tonight in Kentucky, Rosas Jr. — who has been touted as a significant future talent, was forced to defend a taut rear-naked choke in the first round, before almost locking up his own win in the same frame.

However, afforded the opportunity to take Turcios’ back for a second time in the second round, Rosas Jr. locked on a body triangle and eventually forced a tap — turning in yet another rear-naked choke submission triumph.

Brunno Ferreira lands nasty spinning back elbow KO win over Dustin Stoltzfus after wild exchange – UFC Louisville Highlights

With the floodgates now fully open on stoppage victory since Carlos Prates and Zachary Reese’s stunning stoppage victories tonight, Brazilian star, Brunno Ferreira is the latest to land a stoppage win in the new Octagon gloves — albeit with a spectacular spinning back-elbow win over Dustin Stoltzfus on the main card of UFC Louisville tonight.

Ferreira, a highly-touted middleweight prospect from Brazil, landed his victory under the banner of the organization since a win over Phil Hawes back in January tonight, laying waste to Stoltzfus with a brutal finish after a wild exchange and back-and-forth in the final minute of the first frame.

Wobbling Stoltzfus with a spinning elbow at the fence, Ferreira — who has landed a slew of first round knockout wins during his fleeting career thus far, made sure he kept up that vein with tonight’s win over Stoltzfus.

Piling on the pressure with just seconds remaining in the round, Ferreira forced a staggering Stoltzfus back to the fence again, this time unloading with a spinning back-elbow — almost dropping the former before referee, Jason Herzog jumped in — calling a halt to the action.

Jared Cannonier recently conveyed that he bears no animosity toward referee Jason Herzog for the controversial stoppage of his fight against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night Louisville.

Cannonier suffered a fourth-round TKO loss to Imavov in June when Herzog stepped in to halt the fight as the former UFC middleweight title challenger attempted to defend himself against a relentless barrage of strikes from his opponent.

Although “The Killa Gorilla” appeared shaken before the stoppage, it didn’t seem that he was on the brink of being finished, as evidenced by his visible frustration and immediate protest of the referee’s decision.

Herzog, widely regarded as one of the most respected and experienced referees in MMA, faced intense scrutiny from the MMA community for what many deemed a premature stoppage. Even Cannonier, at the time, described the entire situation as “gut-wrenching.”

Despite the controversy, “The Killa Gorilla,” who is set to make his return to the Octagon this Saturday to headline a Fight Night event against the undefeated Caio Borralho, insists that he holds no grudges against Herzog for the loss…

Cannonier on Herzog’s Judgment: ‘We All Make Mistakes’

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Cannonier opened up about his stoppage loss to Imavov. The 40-year-old Texan emphasized that Herzog wasn’t at fault, noting that the referee was simply fulfilling his duty and, in fact, spared him from taking further damage from his opponent.

“I’m not going to be salty like that. Herzog is a good referee,” Cannonier said. “I mean, he’s human; we all make mistakes or erroneous judgments, you know what I mean? To whatever degree we may perceive them to be, he was just doing his job in keeping me safe—or, you know what I’m saying, getting paid off to let the Frenchman win, I don’t know. But whatever the f**k, man. I didn’t go in there and knock out Imavov, so this is what I have to deal with.”

Cannonier further expressed that he wants to ensure such mistakes don’t occur again.

“I get the lessons from the unfortunate things that may have happened, like these stoppages and sh*t like that. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. Hopefully, these refs will give me an opportunity—if they see me on my feet, don’t stop the fight. You won’t see me on my feet getting battered like a speed bag making that sound or something like that.”

Cannonier’s loss was a tough setback, especially after his impressive back-to-back victories over Marvin Vettori and Sean Strickland. A win would have positioned him as a prime contender for a second shot at the championship, but now he finds himself pushed further down the ranks in the contender lineup.
