The 6th Round Post-Fight Show

A pretty underwhelming Noche UFC card didn’t deliver the action where the two title fights were concerned, but up to that point, we had a great run of fights, even if there was a dearth of finishes. There were only two finishes on the entire card. We did get a contender for round of the year (the decade even) with the third stanza of Zellhuber vs. Ribovics, which was an outstanding contest.

The production pizzazz didn’t really kick in much until the main card, aside from some color changing displays and the unique ring girl costumes, but once the main card got underway, we were treated to the dazzling AI displays in full 16K that didn’t quite translate on our subpar monitors and TV screens. But Norma Dumont won, and for that, Stephie and Zane can rejoice.

Let’s take a look at the results and bonuses. We even have an announced gate and attendance.

UFC Vegas 97 is over and done. The fat lady has sung her song. The man with one name (Yizha) was soundly trounced. Jacqueline Amorim answered everything Vanessa Demopoulos threw at her for 3+ minutes, then decided she’d had enough and submitted her. Jessica Andrade was bested by Natalia Silva and Sean Brady beat Gilbert Burns by a considerable margin. L…

UFC Vegas 96 is in the books along with the latest TUF finale. Jared Cannonier fell to Caio Borralho, as did Angela Hill to Tabatha Ricci. Neil Magny got smoked, as well. It was not a good night for aging veterans. Victoria Leonardo can count herself among the defeated too, although ‘aging veteran’ might not actually apply here, being that she’s only be…

Thank the heavens that card is over! There were only 3 finishes and one would be hard pressed to locate a contest worthy of FOTN. Unfortunately, that was reflected in the bonuses. The event seemed like an afterthought—just thrown together while the matchmaking brass were on the golf course, or while they were engaged in some other trivial activity. It’s…

UFC 304 is in the books, and if you had a parlay, you’re probably wondering what the hell happened. Last night was filled with upsets and surprise endings—not that it’s a bad thing. Belal Muhammad is the new champ, but will everyone remember his name? That remains to be seen. Tom Aspinall, however, is still the interim HW champ, though. There’s a reason…

UFC Denver is officially in the books and the Fighting Nerds have logged another TKO victory. Jean Silva cut Dober open over his right eye and then targeted it relentlessly until Herb Dean was forced to call in the ringside physician. It was a FOTY contender, easily. At some point, Zane will reluctantly embrace this team. Rose Namajunas showed that ther…

UFC 303 came and went like a fart on the wind. After the card was ravaged by injuries, most notoriously by Conor McGregor’s bum pinky toe, it would continue to transform into the unrecognizable mess it became. Midway through the card, Brian Ortega withdrew from his co-main event bout with Diego Lopes. Apparently, his weight cut went a lot worse than any…

UFC Saudi Arabia is in the books and it provided some very high points among some very mid fights, but Bobby Knuckles is victorious and that is all that matters today. His first-round destruction of Ikram Aliskerov summoned up memories of what got him the belt once upon a time, and it keeps his name forever in the title mix. We are not mad about that!

UFC Louisville is over and if you were pulling for the underdogs on the card, you ended up with a mixed bag. The undercard saw the favorites come away with the most wins, but Dominick Reyes shined bright on the main card with a sensational TKO win over Dustin Jacoby. I know, I know, it’s just unranked Dustin Jacoby, but when you haven’t had a win since …

Well, UFC 302 is finally over and not a moment too soon. That event was the longest in history and absolutely lackluster to boot. The two fights most were interested in played out in completely opposite fashion. Sean Strickland jabbed his way to a completely forgettable decision that drew numerous boos from the crowd and had social media wishing they’d …
