Movsar Evloev showed why he’s a future featherweight title contender with a smothering unanimous decision victory over Dan Ige at UFC Vegas 56 tonight.

Evloev showed that he’s not only one of the most dominant grapplers in the division, but also a threat on the feet. The Russian gained the upper hand in round one, landing a flying knee and heavy strikes, before slamming Ige to the canvas. Round two saw both fighters land some big strikes before Evloev got the takedown and proceeded to land a few nasty strikes from on top.

In round three, Evloev took Ige’s back early and stuck to him like glue for the rest of the fight to round out a one-sided decision win. In his post-fight interview, the 28-year-old called out the featherweight division’s other rising star, Brendan Allen.

The victory extends Evloev’s unbeaten record to 16 wins, six of which have come in the UFC. After besting #10 ranked featherweight Ige, we can expect the #13-ranked Evloev to enter the division’s top ten in the coming days.

You can catch all the highlights of the co-main event below.

Movsar Evloev is now unbeaten in 16 pro MMA fights.

After dropping her gloves in the center of the cage, Herrig officially announced her retirement during her post-fight Octagon interview with Paul Felder.

Herrig had rejected the idea that she was in a ‘do or die’ scenario ahead of UFC Vegas 56. yet, after a fourth straight loss, the 37-year-old decided to call it a career.

Herrig earned a shot in the UFC following a successful run on The Ultimate Fighter 20. Despite a loss to Randa Markos that eliminated her from season title contention, she earned a win over Lisa Ellis at the finale to secure a spot in the promotion.

Herrig would go on to lose against Paige VanZant, before winning four in a row over the likes of Alexa Grasso and Cortney Casey. Her streak would come to an end after a split-decision loss to Kowalkiewicz in their first matchup at UFC 223.

Before her time in the UFC, she enjoyed brief stints in Bellator and XFC. She made her professional MMA debut at Ultimate Warrior Challenge 5 back in 2009.

Herrig concludes her professional career with a 14-10 record in the cage.

Are you surprised that Felice Herrig has decided to retire from the UFC?

Putting March main event woes firmly behind him, Alexander Volkov successfully rebounds from his UFC Fight Night London headliner against Tom Aspinall, to blitz through heavyweight knockout artist, Jairzinho Rozenstruik with a slew of first round strikes at the cage in the final bout of UFC Vegas 56.

Volkov, who made his second Octagon walk of the year, managed to evade winging hooks and overhand throws from Rozenstruik during a worrisome exchange in the center of the Octagon, circling out and stunning Rozenstruik with a well-planted right hand.

Forcing the Suriname native to fight from the Octagon fence, Volkov began to throw in abundance, knocking the mouth guard from Rozenstruik before referee, Herb Dean stepped in and called a halt to the bout — saving the latter from further punishment.
