video review : Alexia Thainara versus Bruna Brasil at UFC Fight Night
Alexia Thainara gets her revenge on Bruna Brasil in this UFC Fight Night prelim opener, speaking of which includes “the old can opener”; one of several moves Burguesinha utilizes to control her opponent. Brasil does land a nice spinning back kick to the face near the end of the bout, but it’s not enough. She loses this rematch via unanimous decision.

video review : Alexa Grasso versus Maycee Barber at UFC Fight Night
I was rooting for Alexa Grasso, but I didn’t want her opponent to die. That’s my concern; the first Octagon death; as Maycee Barber lies still, eyes open, after being knocked/choked out in the very first round. She stays in that position for over a minute, like an LIS patient, before finally coming back to life. It’s a beautifully dramatic ending to a fight that was just getting started.

video review : Reinier De Ridder versus Bo Nickal at UFC Fight Night
“Hype train derailed”, Billy Goff posts on X, but it’s not a total surprise. The wheels were getting wobbly in Bo Nickal’s last two fights. Cody Brundage and Paul Craig raised questions about a potential undefeated streak. Reinier De Ridder, his toughest opponent yet, answers them here by not only stifling his prestigious wrestling but defeating him “by knockout” via knees to the midsection.

video review : Anthony Smith versus Zhang Mingyang at UFC Fight Night
Anthony Smith is past his prime and this was promoted as his retirement fight, so it’s no surprise nor shame that he’d lose to a knockout specialist like Zhang Mingyang. It’s the way he loses; giving up in the first round but having the gumption to go after a prodder in the crowd as his family watches on; that’s embarrassing, especially considering he loss in a similar way in his previous bout.

video review : Jaqueline Amorim versus Polyana Viana at UFC Fight Night
“This one’s gonna play out on the ground,” Laura Sanko predicts and thankfully it does. Who wants to see two sexy Brazilian women fight standing when they could be sixty-nining 35 seconds in? Jaqueline Amorim is the top as she dominates Polyana Viana for the whole bout before submitting her. The cutest moment is their confused reaction to Dan Miragliotta mistakenly ending the first round early.

video review : Jack Hermansson versus Joe Pyfer at UFC Fight Night
Don’t be Joe Pyfer. The prospect downplayed Jack Hermansson during the prefight buildup; “I just don’t see him being able to hurt me, man”; and gets schooled. “Jack was better tonight,” the new bit goes as a humbled Pyfer accepts defeat.
He (Pyfer) clearly wins the first round and probably the second. That’s to his credit. As the bout goes on though, thanks in part to a punch to the eye and some crafty calf kicks, Hermansson, as Daniel Cormier so eloquently puts it, “kinda took over”.
