I’m sure it has happened before, but when was the last time a fighter won while scoring less points than their opponent? Arlovski wins via SD 29-28x2, 27-30. Arlovski scores 85, while Collier scores 86. #UFCVegas53
Donald Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) vs. Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) is a go for April 30, per sources. Two of the most respected vets of the lightweight division over the last decade. Good matchmaking. I like it. First reported by @MMAjunkie.
Vicente Luque (@VicenteLuqueMMA) vs. Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) will headline UFC Fight Night on April 16, per sources. Ranked Nos. 4 and 5 in the UFC, respectively. Rematch of a fight that took place in 2016, which Luque won via TKO. An impactful one for the division.
Honestly, that fight was symbolic of Ngannou's entire journey if you're familiar with it. Just making a decision he was gonna find a way to get it done. Against tall odds. I kinda love the way he won that fight tonight.
Minus the two championship fights, a pretty underwhelming PPV card to kick off 2022 in my opinion. Heavyweights should be fireworks to end the night at least #ufc270#MMATwitter
The Brazilian champ officially has his next assignment. Glover Teixeira (@gloverteixeira) vs. Jiri Prochazka (@jiri_bjp) is a go for UFC 274 on May 7. Tough first title defense, but Glover’s entire road to this title has been tough.
