Merab Dvalishvili Outlasts Umar Nurmagomedov in Exciting Title Tilt - UFC 311 Highlights

Merab Dvalishvili delivered a brilliant performance in the UFC 311 co-main event on Saturday night, securing a decisive decision victory over the previously undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov.

Things got off to a relatively slow start in the opening round, but things finally started to open up near the two-minute mark when Dvalishvili let his hands go and started to light up the Dagestani with his strikes. However, it was Nurmagomedov who’d land the most significant blow of the round, landing a big right hand that had ‘The Machine’ reeling with 10 seconds to go in the round.

While the first round definitely belonged to Dvalishvili, Nurmagomedov narrowed the gap in the second, landing a series of solid strikes and showing off his impeccable takedown defense. Nurmagomedov also managed to land the first takedown of the fight, taking Dvalishvili’s back in the process, but it wasn’t long before ‘The Machine’ muscled his way back up.

In perhaps his best round of the fight thus far, Dvalishvili manages to put Nurmagomedov on the mat for the first time, though he can’t keep him there for very long.

As we made it to the championship rounds, it became clear that Nurmagomedov was beginning to run empty as his movements began looking labored. Of course, ‘The Machine’ looked like he could go another five rounds as he relentlessly attempted takedown after takedown and caught the Dagestani with a nasty overhand right in the waning seconds of the fifth round. With Nurmagomedov rocked, Dvalishvili scored one final takedown, pinning his opponent to the mat until the final seconds ticked off the clock.

Spivac scored a quick takedown on Almeida and looked to light up the Brazilian with some stiff ground-and-pound strikes, but it wasn’t long before ‘Maladinho’ reversed the position, taking Spivac’s back in the process.

Grant Dawson vs. Diego Ferreira - UFC 311 Highlights

Grant Dawson delivered a dominant performance against Diego Ferreira, earning his 10th career win inside the Octagon at UFC 311.

Ferreira looked to lead the dance with his boxing in the opening round, but Dawson had other plans and promptly put his opponent on the mat for the majority of the first five minutes.

That trend continued in the second stanza, much to the chagrin of the live crowd who began showing Dawson with boos after seeing him secure yet another takedown. With Ferreira pinned against the fence, Dawson began reigning down some vicious elbows. Unfortunately, they didn’t do enough damage to justify a stoppage, sending us into the third and final round.

Picking up right where he left off, Dawson quickly worked Ferreira back down to the mat less than a minute into the round. After about 60 seconds on the mat, referee Frank Trigg called for both fighters to stand up. Dawson then proceeded to clip Ferreira with a stiff right hand before sending him back to the mat almost immediately.

With Dawson continuing to work and transitioning to Ferreira’s back, Trigg was content to let Dawson do his thing on the mat, allowing the clock to run out and sending us to the scorecards.

Ailin Perez Outworks Karol Rosa to Score Fifth-Straight Win Inside the Octagon - UFC 311 Highlights

Ailin Perez scored the biggest win of her career thus far, besting Karol Rosa at UFC 311 and skyrocketing herself into the bantamweight top ten.

Perez got off to a strong start, scoring an early takedown and pinning Rosa to the mat. Before long, Rosa scrambled her way back up and used the time remaining in the opening round to light up Perez’s legs with a series of calf kicks.

Rosa looked to pick up right where she left off in the second, but a flying knee attempt late in the round gave Perez the opening she needed to tie up her opponent and get the fight back to the ground with over 90 seconds to go. Rosa kept Perez locked into her half-guard, preventing the Argentinian from capitalizing on the dominant position.

Potentially down 0-2 going into the third, Rosa came out with a little more intent, swinging heavier and getting back to her lead leg attack. That prompted Perez to tie up against the fence near the halfway point of the round, but Rosa separated herself and got right back to work in the center of the Octagon.

Rosa’s work in the third was good enough to lock up the round, but her lack of urgency ultimately led to Perez notching a fifth-straight win inside the Octagon.

Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Ian Machado Garry - UFC 310 Highlights

Shavkat Rakhmonov outworked Ian Machado Garry throughout their five-round co-main event at UFC 310, scoring a unanimous decision victory and moving to 19-0 in his mixed martial arts career.

Much of the first round was spent clinch-fighting along the cage — most of which was initiated by Rakhmonov. With 30 seconds to go, the fighters finally separated and Rakhmonov popped Garry’s head back with a big right hand. Rakhmonov immediately re-initiated the clinch and maintained his hold on Garry until the end of the round.

The second round saw both fighters open up a little more with their striking, the advantage clearly going to Rakhmonov who landed a couple of solid jabs and a right hand that clipped the Irishman while he was circling away from the fence. Rakhmonov tried to follow it up with a left that prompted Garry to clinch up and put Rakhmonov’s back against the fence.

Rakhmonov reverses the position and once again fails to get Garry to the mat. Rakhmonov ultimately relinquishes the hold and returns to the center of the cage where they exchange a few blows before heading to their respective corners.

Garry undoubtedly had his best round in the third, opening up more with the kicks and catching Rakhmonov with some slick jabs, but it was ‘Nomad’ who made the biggest statement in the round with a booming right hand right before the horn.

With Garry starting to get off on his feet, Rakhmonov switches things up and attacks Garry’s legs, landing the first takedown of the fight in round four. Garry scrambled his way out of the position, but instead of disengaging, he tried to grapple with Rakhmonov and ultimately gave up his back against the fence. Still, Garry was able to fend off Rakhmonov, but that only encouraged ‘Nomad’ to shoot in and land another double-leg takedown, putting him in a dominant position to end the penultimate round.

With Garry likely behind on the scorecards and in need of a finish, ‘The Future’ came out swinging, but that opened him up for another takedown attempt. Rakhmonov shot in and looked to land a single leg, but Garry defended and ended up taking Rakhmonov’s back. With a body triangle locked in, Garry fought hard to land a rear-naked choke. Rakhmonov kept his chin down and fought the hands before reversing the position and getting on top of Garry.

Garry wall-walked his way back up, but Rakhmonov maintained control against the cage and essentially rode out the remainder of the fight in the clinch.

Bryce Mitchell KOs Kron Gracie with Vicious Elbow Strike in Round Three - UFC 310 Highlights

Bryce Mitchell got back into the win column at UFC 310 via a vicious third-round TKO against Kron Gracie.

After letting Mitchell land a couple of shots to the body, Gracie quickly closed the distance and pulled guard. Mitchell went down with little resistance. From there, the fight stayed on the mat with ‘Thug Nasty’ controlling from the top and landing short shots to the body.

The second round saw Gracie land a nice left hand to get things going, but he found himself in a bit of trouble after Mitchell unloaded a combination followed by a knee that glanced off his chin. While Gracie was backpedaling, Mitchell chased which allowed Gracie to grab ahold of him and pull guard once again.

Fortunately, Mitchell got back to his feet and forced Gracie back up. Unfortunately, Gracie quickly pulled guard once again. However, Gracie finally got his offense going on the ground and slowly started to cinch in an armbar. Mitchell defended the hold forcing Gracie to transition to an arm triangle. Mitchell defended the triangle but nearly found himself in an even more dangerous armbar attempt.

Mitchell smartly gets himself out of danger and lands a few ground-and-pound shots as the second-round horn sounds.

Gracie immediately tries to pull guard in the opening seconds of the third round, but this time Mitchell slams him down to the mat with authority and unleashes a vicious elbow that has Gracie out cold. Mitchell lands another for good measure as the referee rushes in to bring the fight to a halt.
