Roman Dolidze got UFC Austin off to bang with a brutal first-round finish over an experienced and talented opponent in Kyle Daukaus.
After receiving criticism in his previous bout for an overly wrestling-heavy approach, Dolidze went out looking for blood. After a clash of heads caused a slight pause in the action, Dolidze quickly turned on the heat. The Georgian-born middleweight dropped Daukaus with a quick flurry, and he immediately followed him to the mat.
Whilst Daukaus was initially able to survive, and even managed to climb to his feet with the aid of the cage, Dolidze simply used it to set up a brutal finishing strike. While pinning Daukaus against the cage, Dolidze threw a knee that landed clean on the head of Daukaus, instantly sending him sprawling to the canvas.
Below, check out the highlights of Roman Dolidze’s first-round finish of Kyle Daukaus at UFC Austin:

Former women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has reacted to Holly Holm’s controversial split decision loss to Ketlen Viera in the main event of UFC Vegas 55.
Tate, who is also coming off a loss to Viera, took to Twitter to give her thoughts on the fight. ‘Cupcake’ stated that her fellow former champ utilized the wrong gameplan against Viera, in a similar manner to how Tate herself lost to the Brazilian contender.
“Not a good game plan by @HollyHolm,” Tate states. “I can say it bc I’ve made the mistake before too. she shoulda stayed on the outside & forced Ketlen to be the aggressor. Holly’s an excellent counter striker, she tired herself out by engaging in the clinch too much. Ketlen makes it look easy.”
Where does Holly Holm go from here?
Now at the age of 40, it may be that Holm does not get the chance to fight for the UFC title again after this loss. There are several options for her in the 135lb division, such as a rematch with Germaine de Randamie or a bout with Aspen Ladd. However, it is always worth noting that Holly Holm is a multi-sport athlete.
‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ already had an extensive boxing and kickboxing career prior to signing for the UFC in 2015. Having achieved such success in MMA, there is a chance that Holm now returns to her roots. In particular, there are rumblings of a potential boxing match with Irish Superstar Kaite Taylor, who recently made history by defeating Amanda Serrano in the first women’s boxing match to headline in Madison Square Garden.
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn recently told TalkSport that there were three opponents being considered for Taylor’s next fight, one of which was indeed Holm.
“There’s three fights,” said Hearn. “There’s Holly Holm, there’s Cyborg and there’s Amanda Serrano.”

Rodtang Jitmuangnon puts on yet another clinical display of violence as he booked his place in the semi-finals of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion dominated Jacob Smith over three rounds, leaving the Englishman bloodied and battered by the end of the bout.
The first two minutes of the fight were relatively competitive, but Rodtang soon began to employ a series of hellacious elbow strikes, cutting Smith open. The second and third rounds were more of the same, as he continued to use his elbows to lethal effect, mixing in a spearing rear straight and debilitating leg kicks.
Credit to Smith for making it to the final bell, but it was not a hard decision for the judges, as Rodtang’s hand was raised, and he progressed into the semi-finals. He was also granted a 50k bonus for his efforts.
Check out the highlights of Rodtang’s dominant victory over Jacob Smith below:
