video review : Julio César Chávez Junior versus Anderson Silva at Tribute To The Kings
It was sad to see Anderson Silva end his once-impeccable UFC run with a knockout loss, but this is a good consolation. It can even be argued that his victory here is more impressive as Silva, in just the third pro boxing bout of his career, dominates a former WBC champion with over fifty wins under his belt.
It’s not a blowout; Chávez wins a couple of rounds and never looks to be in serious danger; but it’s a relatively easy win for Silva, despite one corrupt (Mexican) judge voting against him. Highlights include The Spider’s signature taunting in Round 3 and Canelo Álvarez congratulating him after the bout.

video review : Israel Adesanya versus Marvin Vettori at UFC 263
Marvin Vettori insists he won the first bout, but, unless he’s as delusional as Israel Adesanya suggests in his victory speech, there’s no denying this one. Despite a few takedowns, one of which includes a near rear-naked choke Adesanya is slick enough to spin out of, Vettori does considerably worse this time around.
A lot of fans were speculating and debating about who improved more since their Fight Night pairing in 2018. The answer is clear, though Adesanya seems to move like he’s still carrying his weight from the Jan Błachowicz fight. Perhaps his Zen-like demeanor is just brought on by those new nose-breathing techniques.

video review : Cris Cyborg versus Leslie Smith at Bellator 259
Leslie Smith does better this time around; I’ll give her that; but still it’s not enough. As tough as she is, her opponent is simply too much. Cris Cyborg wins every round of this rematch in what seems destined to be an unanimous decision victory until Smith eventually goes down and out with just nine seconds left on the clock.
