Kicking off the main card of UFC on FOX 25 earlier today (Sat. July 22, 2017) was an epic bantamweight clash by two of the best the world has to offer – Thomas Almeida and Jimmie Rivera.

Almeida has only ever lost one fight in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career, that came at the hands of current 135-pound champ Cody Garbrandt via first round knockout, and comes off of a second round knockout win over Albert Morales last November. The Brazilian is a proven finisher who racked up a 21 fight undefeated streak prior to his loss to “No Love.”

Rivera is on a 19 fight win streak and comes off of a huge win over UFC legend Urijah Faber last September, who he defeated via unanimous decision. With a win over Almeida, Rivera is looking to burst into the championship picture at 135 pounds.

In the opening round Rivera dropped Almeida a few times and established Octagon control, before the Brazilian began to pick things up in the second and third round, planting Rivera down a few times himself.

After an epic back-and-forth fight that kept the crowd on the edge of its seats, Rivera was awarded the unanimous decision win and proceeded to call out the likes of TJ Dillashaw, Cody Garbrandt, and Dominick Cruz.

Chris Weidman was in an absolute must-win scenario when he met surging young prospect Kelvin Gastelum in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., July 22, 2017) UFC on FOX 25 from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

After all, the former UFC champ had lost his last three fights by finish despite arguably winning the early part of all three, and a fourth, especially in his home base of Long Island as countless New York faithful looked on.

Thankfully for the career path of “The All-American,” Weidman secured a much-needed win when he sent Gastelum down the pecking order with a perfect third-round arm triangle after using his go-to wrestling to dominate Gastelum on the ground. It wasn’t without a tense moment, however, as Gastelum appeared calm and confident as he came back from being taken down to rock Weidman with a huge left in the first round.

It was a shot that the former champion said actually resulted in a flash knockout that allowed him to catch himself before he hit the ground. From there, Weidman actually rocked Gastelum when the 25-year-old rising star came out aggressive in the third round, and parlayed it into a beautiful takedown that resulted in the fight-ending submission. After the fight, Weidman called out middleweight champion Michael Bisping for a championship fight.

He may have some work to do before that becomes a reality. For now, watch the full fight video highlights of Weidman’s crucial win from Long Island, New York here:

In the co-main event of UFC on FOX 25 earlier tonight (Sat. July 22, 2017), two of the best featherweights in the world collided as Dennis Bermudez locked horns with Darren Elkins inside the Octagon.

Bermudez recently had a two-fight win streak snapped after suffering a nasty first round knockout loss to the returning Chan Sung Jung this past February. He looked to get back on the winning track of things with a potential win over Elkins.

Elkins has been on a great run as of late, racking up four straight wins and capping things off with a third round knockout win over Mirsad Bektic this past March at UFC 209. He headed into the biggest fight of his career earlier tonight against Bermudez.

In the opening round Elkins seemed to get the better of Bermudez as he was able to take the back and threaten the rear-naked choke. He also landed some nice ground-and-pound before the round came to an end. Bermudez looked to throw a ton of hard hooks but wasn’t able to land anything significant enough to stun Elkins.

It was Elkins who got the better of Bermudez in the wrestling department with a couple of big takedowns. In the end, the judges awarded to bout to Elkins via split decision which will surely propel him into the upper echelon of the 145-pound division.
