UFC 259 \u2013 Blachowicz Vs Adesanya<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the headline event, it was Jan Blachowicz who came out victorious over Israel Adesanya, and in so retaining his Light Heavyweight title.\u00a0 Amanda Nunes was more commanding than ever in her match up with Megan Anderson \u2013 walking away with a submission victory in the very first round. The only problem for the massively likeable Nunes, is who she faces next \u2013 she has literally defeated everyone.\u00a0 It may be time for others to consider a change of weight class because Nunes herself says she is going nowhere! Most controversial bout of the night was the Bantamweight title match up between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling \u2013 with Sterling taking the title as he was unable to continue following an eye poke from Yan, resulting in a DQ for Yan.\u00a0 In fairness to Sterling he said that wasn\u2019t the way he would want to take the title, but some did question the extent of his injuries leading to the end of the fight<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas \u00a021\u2013 Edwards VS Muhammad<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In what will go down as a pretty disappointing card, the top of the bill fight between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad at Welterweight ended as a No-Contest due to Muhammad being unable to continue following an eye poke in the second round.\u00a0 Before the stoppage Edwards was considered to be ahead on most scorecards.\u00a0 Earlier on the card, at 185 lbs, Eryk Anders and Darren Stewart faced off, but it came to an end in the first round due to an illegal knee from Anders on Stewart whilst he was considered to be a downed opponent so was recorded as a No Contest.\u00a0 A bright spot was Angela Hlll and Ashley Yoders back and forth battle, but Hill\u2019s class and experience shone through for her to take the unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas 22\u00a0 Brunson Vs Holland<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Proving what difficult times the UFC has to work in at the moment this card lost three fights at short notice \u2013 first the match up between Johnny Eduardo and Anthony Birchak was cancelled due to\u00a0 visa issues from Eduardo, then the lightweight co-main event between Gregor Gillespie and Brad Riddell was removed from the card due to Covid 19 protocols \u2013 it is likely to be shifted to a forthcoming card\u00a0 Lastly the match up between Julija Stoliarenko and Julia Avila in the bantamweight division was pulled when Stoliarenko collapsed twice during the weight ins.\u00a0 She has subsequently said her problem was that she made weight too early, meaning that she was at her dehydrated limit for too long, resulting in her collapses.\u00a0 So, to the fights!\u00a0 The main event featured Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland in a relatively uneventful fight.\u00a0 It was Brunson who came away with the victory by a unanimous decision.\u00a0 Whilst Holland is very entertaining with his talking and chatting right through the fight, many have questioned just how successful he can be if he continues to demonstrate this behaviour.\u00a0 Notable mention must go to Tai Tuivasa who knocked out Harry Hunsucker within the first minute of the first round.\u00a0 On the flip side Grant Dawson managed to secure a victory in the very last second on the third round with a knockout\u00a0 over Leonardo Santos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
