We started the night with a huge heavyweight
bout between the legendary junior Dos
Santos and the undefeated Ciryl Gane
heavyweight bouts always have you on the edge of
your seat because one punch could end it all,
especially true with Dos Santos and Gane in the
ring. The first round went how you'd might
expect. Gane threw some great kicks.
But Dos Santos had some huge right hands that
would knock out most fighters.
But Dos Santos' hooks wouldn't dominate for
long.

In round two, Gane landed a huge jab and
elbow that put Dos Santos on the ground and
gave Gane seven and 0 record.
We can't wait to see Cyril Gane
Take on Alexander Volkov at UFC Fight Night on
June 26 .
Next up, middleweights Kevin Holland and
Renaldo Souza would battle it out in the
octagon .
Holland had a large MMA career already under his
belt, but at 41 years old, Souza had been
fighting since 2003.
This match up would determine which MMA
veteran would move up in the division. Right away
In the first round, Souza went in for a
takedown, but Holland managed to position his
legs for a potential triangle choke and
landed some huge elbows on Souza's head. While
on the ground
Holland had some unorthodox trash talk
for Souza.
popped out of it nicely.
Nice work.
He's telling them it's nice,.
As Holland got up, he was able to land a huge
hook on Souza that knocked him out for
good.
RIP to Souza's braincells.
Oh oh oh oh oh Kevin Holland five and 0 in
2020.
Now, we had straweight fighters McKenzie Dern
and Virna Jandiroba trying to earn their
place on the strawweight rankings.
It was clear right away that Dern had a superior
standing game, but we knew Jandiroba had a
great ground game, so we were waiting for the
take down. In the second round, Dern landed an
eye poke on Jandiroba and the fight had to
take a pause, but it didn't seem to affect
her game too much because soon Jandiroba
got Dern to the ground.
Being told it was a knee.
Bridge of the nose, right, John?
Yes, sir.
Oh it looks like her nose is movie, you see
that?
For the winner by unanimous
decision, Mackenzie Dern.
Next up was the heavily anticipated lightweight
bout between Tony Ferguson and Charles
Oliveira, both these fighters were well known
for their entertaining style and crazy
finishes.
Right away in round one, both fighters came out
aggressive and it wasn't long before they both
ended up on the ground.
Before the end of the last round, Oliveira got
Ferguson in a tight arm bar.
It looked like Ferguson was done for before he
was saved by the bell at the very last second.
I mean, when we talked about Khabib fighting,
Tony, the thing that was interesting was Tony
fight so well off of his back.
You look over here, look what's happening here.
Oh, he's got hurt.
That's a deep.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Oh, he might have broke his arm.
Oh, I couldn't even watch.
I was looking away.
Over the next few rounds, Ferguson seemed
unable to use his left arm.
Oliveira completely dominated Ferguson in
every round, nearly scoring a submission
multiple times.
Ferguson impressively never gave in and stuck
with it every round.
But Oliveira had clearly proved himself to be a
fighter, not to mess with.
Oliveira won the match by unanimous decision
and would go on to win the lightweight
championship belt at UFC 262 against Michael
Chandler.
Finally, we had the main event of the night, the
champion, Davisson Figueredo, would take on
rising star Brandon Moreno, these two wasted
no time getting aggressive, landing
heavy hands and attempting to take downs
right away in round one. Moreno through a head
kick that barely missed and put him on the
ground.
Moreno managed to get back up and the rounds
after kept up the same intense pace.
It was already becoming clear that this was an
incredibly close fight.
But this is what Moreno needs to do .
He needs to fight behind the jab because when he
loads up and try to hit as hard as Deiveson
does.
Yeah.
Oh, he puts him in danger.
Oh, Moreno's been inches away from a couple power
shots early.
This is a wild fight.
Oh that headkick again!
Every time Moreno's doing a real good job
with throwing that jab and throwing that kead
kick right behind it.
In the third round Figueredo through a kick
that landed too low and Moreno had to take a
minute to recover.
It looked like Moreno might be done for.
But after the five minutes, Moreno came
back for more and kept up the pace.
Figueredo landed some kicks that Moreno
blocked with his left forearm, and by the
fifth round, it looked like he might have
broken Moreno's left arm .
There's a huge hematoma on that left forearm.
I think his arm might be broken,.
But that didn't slow anybody down.
Every second of the fight was fast paced and
had us all on the edge of our seats.
At the very end, it was declared a draw and
Figueredo stayed the champion for now.
But we can't wait to see that rematch at UFC 263.
