This five round bout went the distance. Jaizinho Rozenstruik’s kickboxing background failed to inspire him to victory over Frenchmen Ciryl Gane. The bout was off to a slow start with the only major event being a takedown by Gane right at the end of it. The second saw Jairzinho rocked by jabs, Gane taking advantageContinue reading “UFC FIGHT NIGHT:ROZEINSTRUIK VS GANE”

UFC 258:USMAN VS BURNS
This Welterweight title bout in Las Vegas between defending champ Nigeria’s Kamaru Usman and Brazilian Gilbert Burns was a must watch ,if you missed it live sorry.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT:OVEREEM VS VOLKOV
I saw this heavy weight main event at UFC Fight Night, an interesting all European fight between Dutchman Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov of Russia. Volkov had Overeem on the back foot, a left felling the giant Dutchman which the Russian followed up with punches on the floor. Volkov has a nice balance about himContinue reading “UFC FIGHT NIGHT:OVEREEM VS VOLKOV”
UFC 257:McGREGOR VS POIRIER
I have been waiting for this one for the better part of 6 months. Conor was disappointing at the Etihad Arena. It looks like the time he took away from the octagon was really way too long. He looked tentative and lacked the killer instinct. Only 43% of his strikes where money shots and hadContinue reading “UFC 257:McGREGOR VS POIRIER”

UFC: THOMPSON VS NEALL
Thompson pummelled NEALL with some pretty combinations of jabs and kicks. The later had a reach advantage which he capitalized on with efficiency
UFC:FIGUEIREDO VS MORENO
The result was not what I expected but the Champ retains his belt. Moreno was missing more punches than Figueiredo.Judges probably saw it better to give a draw given Moreno’s good take downs. Maybe the low blow also saw Judges viewing Figuireido in bad light as well. In the later rounds, Moreno showed more staminaContinue reading “UFC:FIGUEIREDO VS MORENO”
UFC:PARISIAN VS PORTER
This UFC Vegas 15 heavyweight fight was what I expected and more. Two big heavy hitting guys going toe to toe. Both looked tired as the match reached the half way stage. Parisian’s leg work needs work thats for sure. His strike rate was just above 50 percent which is pretty average. Porter rightly declaredContinue reading “UFC:PARISIAN VS PORTER”
UFC:FIGUEIREDO VS PEREZ
This bout for the UFC Flyweight championship lived up to expectations.Defending champ Figueiredo started the match landing strategic kicks. Surprisingly no takedowns in the match. In the end Perez’s attempt at a takedown proved his undoing. Figueiredo impressively hooked Perez’s leg to counter. From there the champ managed to trap Perez into a guillotine choke(frontContinue reading “UFC:FIGUEIREDO VS PEREZ”
