Mateusz Gamrot

Former two-weight KSW champion, Mateusz Gamrot has scored his third UFC victory and third finish to boot, forcing a second round verbal submission from the #12 ranked lightweight, Diego Ferreira, after landing a seemingly debilitating knee during a grappling scramble.

The Poznan native attempted to utilise his notable wrestling and offensive grappling ability against Fortis MMA staple, Ferreira throughout the two round affair, and appeared to land an ultimately fight altering knee to the body during a second round grappling scamble.

Taking Ferreira’s back at the Octagon fence, Gamrot shot forward with a knee to the side of Ferreira, which immediately drew a reaction from the Brazilian who signalled to referee, Jason Herzog that he was no longer able to continue.

Following the victory, Gamrot, who added Ferreira to a winning run which includes a pair of stoppage wins over both Scott Holtzman, and the veteran, Jeremy Stephens, called for a showdown with one-time undisputed lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler next year.

Below, catch the highlights from Mateusz Gamrot’s stoppage win over Diego Ferreira.

Cub Swanson

Veteran UFC featherweight contender, Cub Swanson turned in a masterful performance to open the main card of UFC Vegas 45 — forcing a first round knockout win over fellow division mainstay, Darren Elkins.

Swanson, who joined former-foes, Jose Aldo and Max Holloway for most combined featherweight wins in UFC and WEC history, managed to bloody the durable Elkins early in the opening round with his striking before sitting back and comfortably countering the veteran.

Rushing in after a couple of well-placed shots and a notable knockdown. Swanson barely missed with a wheel kick, before clipping Elkins once again — who stumbled forward, and forced referee, Herb Dean to call a halt to the fight in the opening frame.

Below, catch the highlights from Cub Swanson’s eye-catching knockout win over Darren Elkins.

Justin Tafa

UFC heavyweight, Justin Tafa made it six knockout wins from six professional triumphs tonight on the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 45 — stopping Harry Hunsucker with a thunderous opening round high-kick.

The Auckland native, who incidentally, became the first heavyweight in the history of the organization to miss weight yesterday, came in at 267lbs, two pounds beyond the division limit, drawing notable attention.

Dropping Hunsucker early in the first round, Tafa then shrugged the challenger off before launching a left high kick at the fence, and despite managing to block the kick with both forearms, Hunsucker was dropped, suffering a opening round knockout loss to the New Zealand native.

UFC Vegas 45

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 45: Lewis vs. Daukaus results throughout the night (Sat. December 18. 2021) live from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Headlining the promotion’s final event of the year; a high-stakes heavyweight clash between recent interim title challenger, the #3 ranked contender, Derrick Lewis, and surging division challenger, the #7 rated, Chris Daukaus.

Taking main event honors for his fourth consecutive event, Lewis, the promotion’s most prolific knockout artist at heavyweight, looks to rebound to the winner’s enclosure against Daukaus following a rather one-sided ground strikes knockout defeat to the undefeated, Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 265 in August. The win earned Gane interim heavyweight title spoils.

26-8(1) as a professional, New Orleans-born heavyweight knockout ace, Lewis had amassed an eye-catching four-fight winning streak prior to his loss against Gane, including a pair of decision wins over both Blagoy Ivanov, and Ilir Latifi, before knockout wins over Aleksei Oleinik, and a particularly massive uppercut finish over Curtis Blaydes back in February.

Prominent finisher, Daukaus, the elder brother of UFC welterweight, Kyle Daukaus recently left his role as a police officer in Philadelphia to pursue fighting on a full-time basis, and looks to lodge the biggest victory of his eight year professional run with a win over Lewis.

12-3 as a professional, Daukaus, who has scored 11 knockout wins in the process, has begun his UFC tenure with a quintet of knockout wins over Parker Porter, Rodrigo Nascimento, as well as common-foes, Oleinik, and a stunning finish over Shamil Abdurakhimov back at UFC 266 in September.
