Randy Brown Dominates In Co-Main Event

Randy Brown put on a solid performance to go 2-0 in 2021 on Saturday by taking a unanimous decision 30-27 across the board. Statistically, Brown had a great performance, landing 115 significant strikes (117 total strikes) while missing his lone takedown try on the night. With the win, Brown improves to 8-3 inside the Octagon, […]


Tim Elliott Suffers Fourth Loss In Six Octagon Appearances

Long-time UFC veteran Tim Elliott was unable to earn his third straight win on Saturday, taking a unanimous-decision loss to Matheus Nicolau on the main card. Though he out-struck Nicolau 70 to 64, Nicolau earned the 28-29 decision across the board from all three judges. Elliott was just unable to land his shots at the […]


Matheus Nicolau Wins Back-To-Back Fights

A winner of four straight fights and back-to-back in the Octagon, Matheus Nicolau outpointed veteran Tim Elliott to take a unanimous decision Saturday night. Statistically, Nicolau racked up 70 significant strikes (105 total strikes), which was a bit lower than Elliott's totals on the night. When the scores were added up, it was the 28-year-old […]


Sabina Mazo Drops Second Straight UFC Contest

Sabina Mazo was unable to dominate her opponent on Saturday night and suffered a third-round submission loss via rear-naked choke to Mariya Agapova. In 14:07 of action, Mazo compiled 62 significant strikes (63 total strikes) compared to Agapova's 93 significant strikes. Mazo was aggressive in the matchup but just could not find the shot she […]


Mariya Agapova Earns Second UFC Win

Doing what she does best, Mariya Agapova earned a first-round submission to improve her UFC record to 2-1 on Saturday, with both of her wins coming by rear-naked choke. In 14:07 of action, Agapova tallied 93 significant strikes (99 total strikes), over 30 more significant strikes landed than her opponent, Sabina Mazo. She now has […]


Felipe Colares Unsuccessful In Search Of Win

Taking one of the scorecards when the decision was read, Felipe Colares suffered a split-decision loss to Chris Gutierrez in Saturday's main-card opener. Statistically, it was not close, with Colares only landing 41 significant strikes (70 total strikes) compared to Gutierrez's 96 significant strikes. With the loss, Colares has now dropped to 2-3 in the […]


Chris Gutierrez Earns The Nod In Main-Card Opener

With four of the five bouts on the main card going to a decision, Chris Gutierrez earned the first nod of Saturday night in a split decision over Felipe Colares. Though Gutierrez had two judges rule in favor of him 30-27, one judge actually gave a nod to Colares 28-29. Statistically, it was not even […]


Mackenzie Dern Can Continue Her Climb In Main Event

Jiu-Jitsu ace Mackenzie Dern will step into Saturday's main event in hopes of winning her fifth straight fight. Three of her last five victories have come by first-round submission and seven of her 11 professional wins have come by submission. DraftKings sees the Blackhouse MMA star as the very slight favorite with a salary of […]


Marina Rodriguez Hoping For Third Straight Win

Set to fight in a main event after back-to-back wins, Marina Rodriguez (14-1-2) will face Mackenzie Dern in Saturday night's main event. With striking power and the ability to go the distance, Rodriguez will absolutely have to think twice before going to the mat with Dern. Six of her 14 career wins have come by […]


Jared Gooden Hoping To Roll To Another Victory

It was a rough start for Jared Gooden (18-6) in the UFC, as he dropped his first two bouts. Since then, he has rebounded to score a nice first-round knockout back in July, and he's looking for more victories just like that. A dangerous finisher regardless of where the bout goes, 15 of his 18 […]


Randy Brown Looking For His Fourth Win In Five Bouts

A veteran of the UFC since 2016, Randy Brown (13-4) has won three of his last four fights and can win two straight with a victory Saturday over Jared Gooden. A finisher in the cage, 11 of Brown's 13 career wins have come by finish, with six of those coming via knockout/TKO. DraftKings sees Rudeboy […]


Matheus Nicolau Looking To Win Second UFC Bout

After a successful UFC debut, Matheus Nicolau (16-2-1) returns to action to face another veteran on Saturday, this time in the form of Tim Elliott. Nicolau has earned nine of his 16 career wins by finish. Riding a three-fight winning streak, his fourth straight would put him undefeated at 2-0 in the UFC. DraftKings sees […]


Tim Elliott Returns To Action Looking For Third Straight Win

The flyweights will take to the big stage as long-time UFC veteran Tim Elliott (17-11-1) looks to make it three victories in a row on Saturday as he battles Matheus Nicolau. A veteran of the UFC for many years, Elliott made his UFC debut back in May of 2012. Throughout his lengthy career, nine of […]


Sabina Mazo Set For Action On Saturday's Main Card

The Colombian Queen Kings MMA prospect Sabina Mazo (9-2) will return to action on Saturday after her most recent outing resulted in a decision loss back in February. The opposite of her opponent, Mariya Agapova, Mazo has earned six of her nine professional wins by going to a decision. If Mazo can weather the early […]


Mariya Agapova Looking To Rebound After Recent Loss

1-1 after an undefeated run in Invicta FC, Mariya Agapova (9-2) returns to action this Saturday after suffering a second-round TKO loss back in August of last year. Fourteen months later, Agapova steps back into the cage to try and get back to her winning ways. A dangerous finisher, seven of her career wins have […]


Deron Winn Hoping To Build Off Momentum

American Kickboxing Academy prodigy Deron Winn (7-2) returns to action on Saturday to face Phil Hawes after a December unanimous-decision victory last year in a bout rescheduled for its original July date. After losing two fights in a row, the only two losses of his professional career, Winn rebounded in his last contest to capture […]


Phil Hawes Looking For His Fourth Straight Win

Since joining the UFC, Phil Hawes (11-2) has not tallied a loss yet (3-0), including an 18-second knockout in his UFC debut. Always a dangerous striker, seven of Hawes' 11 career wins have come by KO/TKO. Hawes enters the Octagon facing a tough wrestler in Deron Winn. If Hawes can keep this fight from going […]


Johnny Walker Takes Unanimous-Decision Loss Saturday

Unfortunately for Johnny Walker, his inability to pull the trigger and land big shots cost him a chance to win Saturday's main event against Thiago Santos, with Santos taking the victory via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47). Statistically, Walker only landed 48 significant strikes in 25 minutes of action. With the loss, Walker has now […]


Thiago Santos Does Enough To Win Saturday's Main Event

Saturday's main even didn't exactly produce the fireworks that fans expected, but Thiago Santos still walked out of the fight with the victory by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47). In 25 minutes of action, Santos only landed 44 significant strikes, and neither fighter landed a takedown. Regardless, Santos was able to snap his three-fight losing […]


Kyle Daukaus' Bout Ends In No Contest

An unfortunate accidental headbutt ended Kyle Daukaus' bout with Kevin Holland in the first round of action on Saturday night. With only 3:43 of cage time racked up, Daukaus landed just nine significant strikes (19 total strikes) and only landed one of his five takedown tries. Knowing the UFC, this potential fight of the night […]


Accidental Headbutt Leads To No Contest For Kevin Holland

In what had the potential of being the fight of the night on Saturday, Kevin Holland walked out of the cage with a no contest in his bout with Kyle Daukaus. An accidental headbutt in the first round 3:43 into the action caused an early end to the bout. In the short amount of cage […]


Alex Oliveira Drops Decision, Loses Third Straight

Alex Oliveira was unable to ride out of the Octagon with a win, dropping a unanimous decision to Niko Price on Saturday night. In 15 minutes of action, Oliveira tallied 65 significant strikes (83 total strikes) and only landed one of his two takedown tries on the night. With the loss, Oliveira has now lost […]


Niko Price Goes The Distance And Gets The Win

Earning a big win over a seasoned veteran on Saturday, Niko Price walked out of the Octagon with a unanimous-decision win (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) over Alex Oliveira. In 15 minutes of action, Price tallied 64 significant strikes (108 total strikes) while landing one of his three takedown tries. Price actually outscored Oliveira in control time, […]


Misha Cirkunov Goes To Decision But Doesn't Get The Nod

Though Misha Cirkunov went the distance with decision machine Krzysztof Jotko, Cirkunov wasn't able to get the split-decision nod. Both fighters landed the same number of significant strikes with 41 each. Cirkunov led the way in the takedown department, landing five of his 17 tries compared to Jotko's one takedown. Cirkunov is a ground artist […]


Krzysztof Jotko Goes To Decision And Gets The Win

Krzysztof Jotko battled in a close back-and-forth matchup to escape with the split-decision win on Saturday. In a close battle, Jotko tallied 41 significant strikes (56 total strikes), the same number of significant strikes as Misha Cirkunov. In typical Jotko style, he was able to go the full 15 minutes and get the victory. He […]


Mike Breeden's UFC Debut Does Not Go As Planned

It was a tough UFC debut for Mike Breeder on Saturday when he suffered a first-round TKO loss to dangerous striker Alexander Hernandez. In 80 seconds of action, Breeden landed six significant strikes but absorbed 20. With less than two minutes of action, it makes it difficult to evaluate Breeden's performance in the Octagon. He […]


Alexander Hernandez Ends Night With First-Round Knockout

Anthony Hernandez showed on Saturday why he is such a dynamic finisher, knocking out Mike Breeder just 1:20 into the first round. In 80 seconds of cage time, Hernandez tallied 20 significant strikes. Hernandez has put himself back firmly on the list of fighters to look out for if you need to cash in on […]


Johnny Walker Headlining Main Card In A Clash Of Titans

After two rough UFC appearances, Johnny Walker (18-5) earned a big first-round TKO victory in his last outing in September of last year. As proficient a finisher as a fighter can be, 15 of Walker's 18 career wins have come by knockout/TKO. With two heavy-hitting strikers going toe-to-toe, a knockout could be around the corner […]


Thiago Santos Gets Main-Event Slot

Thiago Santos (21-9) finds himself in the main event of Saturday's action despite his current three-fight losing streak. Though it has been a rough run lately while dealing with the absolute best of the light heavyweight division, Santos has devastating power, with 15 of his 21 professional wins coming by knockout/TKO. Facing Johnny Walker, who […]


Kyle Daukaus Could Turn Some Heads Saturday

Though Kyle Daukaus (10-2) has lost two of his last three fights, he finds himself in a very important co-main event on Saturday against Kevin Holland, who is looking to avoid a three-fight skid. A major threat to finish any contest on the mat, eight of Daukaus' 10 professional wins have come by submission. DraftKings […]
