Win or lose, Lewis has typically been competitive except with the most elite of the division. While Serghei Spivac is a good fighter – and still improving – I ...

He snapped Nakamura’s head back with a couple of his strikes, turning in the most exciting contest of the evening in the process. Marcin Tybura and Blagoy Ivanov: It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that these two heavyweights put on the most miserable fight of the evening. But he also fought the best fight he could in hopes of securing the win over the heavily favored Nakamura. To be fair to Nelson, he did have the most complete performance of his UFC career, hurting Choi a couple of times and not completely gassing down the stretch. The first one to earn a UFC contract on the evening, Park showed a real killer instinct, aggressively pursuing a finish after being put on his ass in the second round by Seung Guk Choi. Regardless, Nakamura picked up the contract and appears to have the highest ceiling of all the newcomers on this card. What put Lee over the top is he did more damage with his strikes as opposed to Yi’s emphasis on wrestling and control. Only the second fighter to step foot in the Octagon from the second most populous country in the world, Jubli had a plan and executed it to perfection. Anshul Jubli: Perhaps the most ready-made product from the Road to the UFC, Jubli fought with a maturity that you wouldn’t expect from someone from India. As to the reason for the late start, several promising talents out of Asia were crowned winners from the Road to the UFC tournament. Perhaps it was a good thing for many as perennial fan favorite Derrick Lewis suffered perhaps the most humiliating loss of his career. The first few contests were competing with Fedor Emelianenko’s retirement fight – which I have to admit I switched to myself without missing any of the UFC action – and it had a horrible time slot.

What does the future hold for Derrick Lewis after his third consecutive loss in the UFC Fight Night 218 headliner?

Bloody Elbow presents its fight week coverage when UFC makes its 16th overall trip to Australia, going 'down under' for the first time since UFC 243, ...

Two champions in two different divisions going to war has only occurred seven other times in UFC history. Our second title tilt occurs in our Co-Main event when ‘The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America’ alum & featherweight winner, No. This Saturday, February 11th, from Perth, Western Australia, UFC features two title fights headlining their 13-bout UFC 284 PPV (pay-per-view) event.

Serghei Spivac made relatively short work of Derrick Lewis in a battle of heavyweights in the main event of UFC Fight Night 218 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Welterweight Adam Fugitt (9-3) secured a KO/TKO over Japan’s Yusaku Kinoshita (6-2) at 4:36 of the first round via strikes. The Polar Bear is coming,” said Spivac, who issued a challenge to the winner of the upcoming vacant heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane of France. If I tell Jon Jones or Ciryl Gane (I want the winner), they’ll make the fight? I want Jon Jones. The Polar Bear is here. He then finished off the American with an arm-bar submission.

The UFC president ensures the 'Black Beast' will remain in the UFC despite his recent skid.

“I love the guy. Jon Jones, I respect you so much. “I think this is good. “I want Jon Jones,” said Spivac. With the loss, Lewis’ status at the top of the UFC heavyweight division has come into question. For the UFC president, the performance from Spivac was an eye-opener.

All the best, most interesting, and unquestionably coolest fights the UFC needs to book following their latest events in Las Vegas, NV.

It’s a tough matchup for the 31-year-old, but also a chance to put a rising top prospect on ice. If the UFC wants to continue down that path, then a fight with Bruno Santos or Tyson Nam would be great options. Clark is a great way to see if the New Zealander is ready to start jumping up the division. The result was a quick first round submission for the Korean, bringing his UFC record to 6-2 overall. To that end, the ‘Iron Turtle’ exchanged a few punches, fought hard to get a takedown, and then was totally dominant from top position. Clark’s physicality and gas tank makes him a great test at the edges of the light heavyweight top 15, and Ulberg’s rangy power should be the kind of problem Jung was supposed to represent. The end result was a clean sweep for Clark, who gets a badly needed bounce-back from a hard loss to Azamat Murzakanov. It’s absolutely not a fight he’s going to get, but can’t blame the guy for wanting it. Still, the UFC is bullish on keeping Lewis as a feature attraction then I’m sure he’ll keep getting name opponents for as long as he wants to keep fighting. After the bout (and with a fair bit of pressure from Michael Bisping), Spivac called for a fight with Jon Jones. Otherwise, a few contracts go handed out for the promotion’s first ever ‘Road to UFC’ finalists. The UFC put on a midnight showing of mid-card talent and it produced an absolute minimum of meaningful momentum for the fighters involved.

Dana White has made an embarrassing blunder in forgetting lightweight champion Islam Makhachev's name ahead of upcoming super-fight between the Russian and ...

In terms of pay per view, yes, more could have been done,' the Dagestani said. Volkanovski (pictured) is already regarded as the top pound-for-pound MMA fighter on the planet, and if he beats Makhachev he will join the likes of Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes as simultaneous multi-division champs 'I only saw Volkanovski once, in Sydney. He is already regarded as the top pound-for-pound MMA fighter on the planet, and if he beats Makhachev he will join the likes of Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes as simultaneous multi-division champs. He does not pay much attention to this fight. The bout at UFC 284 in Perth next Sunday will determine the pound-for-pound king of the octagon, and is one of the biggest UFC events scheduled for 2023

You know who he's talking about. That guy. The UFC lightweight champion. Khabib's friend. Him.

At this point the UFC is well known for laying the track down in front of the train a week at a time. We won’t be able to say for sure whether UFC 284 is getting under-hyped until fight week commences and the well-oiled promotional machine does its thing. “I mean, it’s a monster fight and the gate alone out there is gonna be a [Madison Square Garden] type gate. And if ... We hold 47 to 50 percent of the AEW crowd and we’re number two every night, with men in all of cable behind the NBA.” And to put it into perspective, the WWE does 1.5 million, the UFC does 770,000, the NFL does 545,000, we’re pulling 10 million.” can pull it off, it’s ... you know ... Later on, the subject of UFC 284: Makhachev vs. “It’s beating all the fights of its type and it’s probably going to beat the record for pay-per-view in Australia and New Zealand. White unleashed another promotion spiel, but biffed it at the end by forgetting Islam Makhachev’s name. But it looks like it’s going to break that record.

Alex Volkanovski will fight for his second UFC title this weekend but there's so much more at stake for Australia's greatest-ever MMA fighter.

Ask him about the man whose title he wants to take and Emmett sounds like a longtime fan. A loss to Makhachev wouldn't change what's already happened. "I've had an eye on him for a long time. Plenty of people might count him out but I'm not." He is, in the tradition established by Nurmagomedov, a wrecking machine. Men who entered the UFC long before him speak of the Windang product with something close to reverence.

He holds a 1-0 record in pro MMA and holds a purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He maintains control as Lewis tries to get up, but gets taken down again. Lewis tries to get up, but gives up his back. Lewis feints and gets a reaction. He would force Lewis to carry his weight, and as soon as he stood up, Spivac would hit a trip to get back on top.
