Oh boy, Alex Perez really showed up, didn’t he? After a long, long wait of 1,421 days, he finally bagged a win. And not just any win – a knockout that’ll be talked about for ages. He was stepping in for Manel Kape, but man, did he own that moment in the UFC flyweight division.
Perez’s victory? It was nothing short of sensational. Knocked Matheus Nicolau clean out with one punch. Just like that, in the second round. Talk about making a statement!
Nicolau, on his part, tried to keep it tactical. Moving around, throwing those quick counters. But Perez? He was on him. Chipping away with those leg kicks, always looking for that opening. And bam! Midway through round two, he lands that right hook. Nicolau didn’t even see it coming. Down he went, and that was that. Game over.
This win was a big deal for Perez. Snapped a three-fight losing streak right there.
Switching gears, let’s talk about Bogdan Guskov. The guy’s power is just… wow. He laid out Ryan Spann with some heavy punches in the second round of their light heavyweight clash. Guskov’s comeback in round two was something out of a movie. Spann had him on the ground in round one, but Guskov turned the tables beautifully. That uppercut? Chef’s kiss.
Every single one of Guskov’s wins has been a finish. That’s the kind of stat that gets you noticed.
Now, onto the women’s flyweight division. Karine Silva and Ariane Lipski put on a show. Silva dominated, taking Lipski down at will and controlling the fight. She swept the scorecards, and honestly, it was well-deserved. Silva’s now on a nine-fight winning streak. That’s impressive.
And then there’s Jhonata Diniz. The guy kept his perfect record, stopping Austen Lane in the second round. Diniz turned it around after a tough first round, showing off his striking skills. That left hook? Lights out for Lane.
David Onama also deserves a shoutout. He outmaneuvered Jonathan Pearce in a featherweight bout that had everyone on the edge of their seats. Despite missing weight, Onama’s performance was top-notch. The judges all saw it his way, and rightly so.
Lastly, Uros Medic made quick work of Tim Means. A perfectly timed uppercut and Means was down. Medic’s victory was a strong comeback after his last fight. It’s clear he’s not here to play.
So, there you have it. A night of fights that had everything: comebacks, knockouts, and tactical battles. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
