Fantastic Fury FC main event and Steven Orozco wins. Commentators campaign for him to get a spot on Dana White's Contender Series.

Orozco would be 7-3, but he's had three wins overturned due to failed drug tests, so DWCS seems like a stretch. We'll see if this win sticks.

What a fight between Orozco and Longoria at Fury. Absolute war right now

[Robert Sargent @MMARising]

@Cisyumm Congrats on an excellent fighting career. You leave the sport on top as Pancrase champion. Best wishes for the future.

@AlexanderKLee He did start out with four good RTU/UFC performances, and I'm not at all taking away from that, but he is still one of the few people who legitimately lost to Askar Mozharov in China in a fight that Mozharov didn't make up. Losing to Mozharov = no hype train ever.

[Alexander K Lee @AlexanderKLee]

blanket response for the reply guys saying Haddon hasn't fought in two years:

he fought today and should be compensated enough that he doesn't have to beg for money you stupid assholes

[Robert Sargent @MMARising]

Every event, multiple times over, while Dana throws money at the Nelk Boys and insists that fighter pay must stay low while they "figure out if these guys belong in the UFC."

[Alexander K Lee @AlexanderKLee]

"I'm super broke, I have no money, please I deserve a bonus!" - a victorious UFC fighter

[caposa @Grabaka_Hitman]

To be clear, UFC level is a myth in 2026. Your success in the octagon isn't the deciding factor in whether they keep you.

#RTU5: Ming Shi defeats Puja Tomar by Submission (Arm-Triangle Choke) at 3:12 of round one.

[Robert Sargent @MMARising]

Farida Abdueva's #RTU5 No Contest has been rightfully changed to a first-round TKO victory and has now been updated on UFC's official stats site. I've now changed it in the FightFinder as well. The correct call was made.

[Daniel Rubenstein @dannyrube]

Just got confirmation the No Contest result will be overturned to a Round 1 TKO win for Farida. And she advances to the Semi Finals.

#RTU5: Niushiyue Ji defeats Kaito Oda by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).

[caposa @Grabaka_Hitman]

Per the broadcast, Abdueva will advance to the semifinals. At least common sense prevailed there, still had a win taken away from her.

[caposa @Grabaka_Hitman]

A 100% legal punch stopped this fight, and it was ruled a NC. Farida Abdueva was robbed of a TKO and should advance in the tournament. #RTU

[Robert Sargent @MMARising]

#RTU5: Farida Abdueva vs Xiaocan Feng is ruled a No Contest at 2:02 of round one.

Dreadful refereeing from Lukasz Bosacki, who is normally solid. There was no eye poke, and replays clearly showed that. Abdueva was just robbed of a TKO win.
