The Contender Series grad controlled almost the entire opening round from Ismagulov’s back, threatening with chokes before pounding away with strikes down the stretch. In the second, the American took a little punishment on the feet early, but brought the fight back to the canvas and kept it there, again working from back mount. Dawson

For the first time in his career, it took him until the second round to secure a finish, but for every moment of his fight with Fugitt, the Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) graduate was in control, showcasing his clean, sharp, technical striking before rocking the Pacific Northwest native and locking up a guillotine choke

UFC returned to the APEX with a high-stakes match in the middleweight division, with No. 7 ranked contender Sean Strickland taking out Abus Magomedov in the second round. The main card also saw No. 15 Grant Dawson dominate No. 12 lightweight Damir Ismagulov in a 155-pound co-main event clash. Main event was scheduled for five rounds. All other

And frankly, despite what the naysayers have to put out on social media, Wilson has paid his dues to get here. Owner of a 16-7 pro record with all wins coming via knockout or submission, Wilson may not have an array of former UFC fighters on that slate, but what he hasn’t done on fight

“I’m taking Craig Jones all day. I’m a big B-Team guy, and it’s hard not to root for that accent,” Hooper laughed. Also on the card, in the co-main event slot, is an intriguing matchup between former light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira and number seven ranked light heavyweight Anthony Smith. When the two met in

“Mexico has always been a very important market to me since day one,” White said. “I recently told everyone at a press conference that we had made a big mistake by not showcasing our world champions and Mexican talent on a Mexican holiday. I went back to the office after the press conference, and I

“He’s a phenomenal athlete,” Sparks enthusiastically explained. “He’s a different type of gifted. I would bet on him to be successful in the long term.” Sparks can easily point to his national titles, his fame, his backflips or his scrambles when explaining what makes wrestlers like Roman Bravo-Young so successful, but what Sparks admires most

Emmett continued to fire back, but the connections didn’t carry as much sting, with “El Matador” remaining in his face, punishing him on the feet. Late in the fourth, Topuria dropped Emmett with a short left hook, trying to chase down a finish. Emmett survived and came out throwing to start the fifth, but Topuria
