Farid Basharat

In the second fight of the night, highly touted bantamweight prospect Farid Basharat claimed victory in his UFC debut.

Farid Basharat, the younger brother of the surging Javid Basharat, took on Da’Mon Blackshear in an early preliminary bout on the massive UFC 285 PPV card.

The bantamweight bout was an entertaining scrap. Blackshear kept a relentless tempo, lunging into exchanges with front kicks and double jabs. However, Basharat avoided taking damage, and was able to fend off the majority of Blackshear’s takedowns. In fact, Basharat would take the fight to the ground himself multiple times, landing some impressive ground and pound.

This was the narrative of the fight for the most part, with Blackshear keeping the tempo high, but ultimately losing out to Basharat’s superior skill. However, in the final round, Blackshear locked up a triangle and Basharat appeared to have no choice but to tap. Fortunately for ‘Ferocious’ Farid, the bell would go before Blackshear could finish the fight.

As a result, Basharat claimed a unanimous decision victory.

Brendan Allen and Andre Muniz found themself in an impromptu middleweight main event at UFC Vegas 70 on Saturday night after the broadcast team revealed that the originally scheduled main event between Ryan Spann and Nikita Krylov was scrapped with the former coming down with food poisoning.

Both fighters walked into the bout with winning streaks on the line. Brendan Allen entered the contest winning his last three matches inside the Octagon. Not to be outdone, Muniz entered riding a nine-fight win streak dating back to 2017 before he debuted with the UFC. Muniz also put his spot as the No. 11 ranked middleweight on the line against the currently unranked Allen.

The first round saw both fighters landing big strikes throughout. Andre Muniz did attempt to take things to the ground with a single leg, but Allen defended perfectly and stayed upright. Allen caught Muniz early with a big left hand that knocked him back against the fence, but Allen was unable to capitalize as Muniz recovered quickly.

Neither man gained a significant advantage in the first round, but Muniz looked to change that in the second with a takedown attempt, but Allen was able to reverse position and end up on top with three minutes to go in the round. With a minute to go, Allen smoothly transitioned to side mount where he maintained control, dropping the occasional elbow until the round came to a close.

The third round saw both fighters keep things on their feet in the opening minutes. Muniz began to land some solid strikes. Allen worked to counter but was unable to land anything as powerful as the opposition. With two minutes to go, Muniz threw a body kick that Allen caught and used it to slam Muniz to the mat, immediately taking side control. Allen transitioned to mount and began fishing for an arm triangle. Muniz gave up his back in defense allowing Allen to lock in both hooks and cinch his arm under Muniz’s chin forcing the tap out.

Official Result: Brendan Allen def. Andre Muniz via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:25 of Round 3

Tatiana Suarez

The APEX played host to a women’s strawweight matchup on Saturday night at UFC Vegas 70 as undefeated prospect Tatiana Suarez returned after nearly three years on the shelf against Montana De La Rosa. Suarez walked into the matchup a perfect 8-0 with five of those victories coming inside the Octagon between 2016 and 2019. Things haven’t gone quite as well for De La Rosa who entered the bout 5-3 under the UFC banner but dropped two of her last three contests against Viviane Araujo and Maycee Barber.

Tatiana Suarez closed the distance early and pushed De La Rosa to the fence before completing a single-leg takedown. Attempting to escape, De La Rosa gave up her back but managed to get to her feet. Suarez refused to let go, continuing to press her opponent against the fence while delivering knees and strikes to the body of De La Rosa as the first five minutes came to a close.

Suarez did little to stray from her gameplan in the second, closing the distance quickly and dragging De La Rosa to the mat, and immediately moving into side control. De La Rosa defended well, rolling to her back and climbing to her feet, but Suarez was able to snatch De La Rosa’s neck and pulled guard, fighting for a guillotine choke. De La Rosa did her best to defend but was ultimately forced to tap out in round two.

Official Result: Tatiana Suarez def. Montana De La Rosa via submission (guillotine choke) at 2:51 of Round 2

Doo Ho Choi

UFC featherweights Doo Ho Choi and Kyle Nelson battled it out to a draw on the UFC Vegas 68 card. 

Draws in MMA are a rarity, but last night after a closely contested fight between Choi and Nelson, that’s exactly what fans got. Nelson enjoyed success in the grappling department in the first round before being reversed by ‘The Korean Superboy,’ who would use the opportunity to land ground and pound on Nelson.

Round 2 saw Nelson hurt Choi early, but the 31-year-old remained composed to keep the round competitive, exchanging a variety of strikes throughout the five minutes, including a nice elbow while escaping against the cage. 

The third round would be the most pivotal of the fight, with a referee intervention would ultimately cost Choi the win. As the Korean was in top position, he would accidentally land a headbutt on Nelson, to which the referee made a pause in the action, standing the fighters up and deducting a point from Choi. 

This would cost ‘The Korean Superboy’ the fight. A win would have been his first in nearly five years following a three-fight skid and an extended absence from the cage due to injuries and mandatory military service in his native South Korea. 

As for Nelson, this now leaves him with a record of 1-4-1 in the UFC, and will need to pick up some form if he wishes to stay in the promotion.

Glover Teixeira

Glover Texeira stepped back into the Octagon on Saturday night at UFC 283 with the hopes of once again becoming a world champion. Standing in his way of that dream was No. 7 ranked contender Jamahal Hill. It’s a fight nobody expected to see, but a simple twist of fate led to Texeira, a living legend, sharing the Octagon with a young gun ready to make his mark in the world of mixed martial arts.

Glover Teixeira immediately moved in to utilize his wrestling, but Hill used his length to avoid being taken to the ground and created distance. Hill started to get busy with his hands at the halfway point of the opening round, peppering Teixeira with shots. Just over a minute into the second round, Hill landed a heavy high kick that rocked Teixeira. Hill picked up the pace, but that played right into Teixeira’s wrestling and the former champ was able to get things to the ground but was unable to take advantage of the position before the end of the round.

Lightning struck twice in the third as Jamahal Hill once again landed a nasty head kick that rocked Teixeira. Hill moved in as Teixeira hit the canvas and dropped bombs, but Teixeira’s defense was enough to prevent referee Marc Goddard from stepping in. Hill allowed Teixeira back to his feet and the two resumed piecing up one another.

In the championship rounds, Jamahal Hill continued to dominate with his hands. In the final five minutes, Glover Teixeira gave the Brazilian crowd a glimmer of hope when he landed a takedown and moved into full mount, but Hill was able to work his way out of the position and move into side control. The final round came to a close with both men standing across from one another. Shortly after the horn sounded, Hill was overcome with emotion as he was just moments away from Bruce Buffer’s official announcement.

Official Result: Jamahal Hill def. Glover Teixeira via unanimous decision (50-44, 50-44, 50-44)

Gilbert Burns

Gilbert Burns returned to the Octagon in front of a raucous crowd at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro for a high-stakes welterweight scrap with No. 12 ranked contender Neil Magny. Burns walked into the bout ready to get back into the win column after coming up short against undefeated Chechen monster Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273 last year. Magny has alternated wins and losses going back to 2020, but he looked to make it two in a row after scoring a third-round submission against Daniel Rodriguez in November.

Magny attempted to keep Burns at a distance, using his length to create space between the two fighters, but Burns was able to close the distance quickly and put Magny on his back with relative ease. Burns was able to move into side control. After contending with the long legs of Magny, Burns was able to move into full mount. From there, it was just a matter of time.

Burns applies pressure from the mount and is able to work his way into position for an arm triangle choke. Putting the squeeze on with less than a minute to go in the round, Magny found himself pressed against the fence with nowhere to go. Magny had no choice, but to tap out with 45 seconds left in the opening round.

Official Result: Gilbert Burns def. Neil Magny via submission (arm triangle) at 4:15 of Round 1
