LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 46: Kattar vs. Chikadze results throughout the night (Sat. January 15. 2022) live from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event honors in the first UFC event of the year: a high-stakes featherweight showdown between the #5 ranked contender, Calvin Kattar, and the #8 rated challenger, Giga Chikadze.

Making his first Octagon appearance in a year, Kattar most recently headlined UFC on ABC 1 back in January of last year against former undisputed featherweight champion, Max Holloway.

Taking main event status at the ‘Fight Island’ event, Kattar suffered a hugely one-sided, damaging unanimous decision loss to the Hawaii native — snapping a two-fight winning run.

Turning in an impressive 2020, the Massachusetts native stopped featherweight staple, Jeremy Stephens with a second round knockout, before defeating Dan Ige in his first main event bout under the promotion’s banner in a July UFC Fight Island 1 pairing.

For Tibilisi striking standout, Chikadze, he also prevailed with an impressive victory in his first main event bout back in August at UFC Vegas 35, handing Muay Thai ace, Edson Barboza a stunning third round knockout.

7-0 since debuting in the UFC back in September 2019, the Georgian also holds promotional wins over Cub Swanson, Omar Morales, and Brandon Davis to name a few.

UFC Vegas 41

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 41: Costa vs. Vettori results throughout the night (Sat. 23rd. October 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in a short notice light heavyweight main event, one-time middleweight title challengers, Paulo ‘Borrachinha’ Costa, and Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori meet following a turbulent fight week that included two changes in weight to the headlining bout.

Originally, the pair were slated to headline in a middleweight matchup, until Costa confirmed on Wednesday that he would not be competing at the 186lbs middleweight limit, before offering Vettori a catchweight pairing instead.

Ultimately agreeing to meet at a 195lbs catchweight pairing, with Costa forfeiting 20% of his fight purse to the Trento native as a result.

However, prior to the weigh-ins of Friday, Costa and Vettori’s main event slot was changed to an official light heavyweight matchup, with the two tipping the scales beneath the limit on Friday morning at the UFC Apex facility.

The event will mark Costa’s first outing since September of last year at UFC 253, where he suffered a second round knockout loss to Israel Adesanya in his first title challenge under the promotion’s banner.

For Vettori, the Kings MMA mainstay headlined UFC 263 in June, dropping a second career loss to common-foe, Adesanya in the form of a unanimous decision.

Chikadze

Giga ‘Ninja’ Chikadze has his seventh straight victory in the UFC — comfortably outstriking Edson Barboza from the opening exchange en route to an impressive third round ground strikes knockout win to round out UFC Vegas 35.

Quite a measured approach early from both Barboza and Chikadze who both attempted to counter each other with kicks from the fence, however, the Georgian pulled away and likely stole the first round with more output in the closing minute as he eluded and rushed in with his hands.

Some good activity in the second frame for Nova Friburgo native, Barboza who appeared to be targeting the body of Chikadze, who in turn, looked to be slowing down and limiting his lateral movement ever so slightly.

Pouring on the pressure at the beginning of the third round, Chikadze clipped Barboza as the Brazilian entered, before dropping him at the fence.

Quite surprisingly, Chikadze looked to lock up a D’Arce choke, before catching and dropping Barboza for a second time as the Brazilian attempted to return to his feet, forcing referee, Jason Herzog to step in — awarding the Georgian his seventh consecutive Octagon triumph.

Below, catch Chikadze’s knockout victory over Barboza.
