That did not eventuate but Pichel was later able to hit Madsen with a flurry of punches, cementing the round late. The main card opened with Mark Madsen defeating Vinc Pichel via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28). The opening two rounds were relatively even and uneventful in the sense neither was able to gain the clear upperhand. Both went on to exchange punches and kicks before Pichel landed a late right hand at the end of the round. “It’s 15 minutes in the cage, I ain’t happy with it. You don’t want to all see blowouts,” he said. Madsen though responded with a takedown, although Pichel was able to get back up without much sustaining much damage. It’s a very valuable lesson, win, lose or draw.” And on Sunday (AEST) in Jacksonville, with his third title defence, Alexander ‘The Great’ Volkanovski made one thing clear: he runs the UFC’s featherweight division. If not, you’re going to miss out, it’s that f***ing simple.” In some ways, it was. “He actually took a lot more than I wanted him to. I thought they could have stopped it a bit earlier.

In his last two fights before meeting Sterling, Yan finished Urijah Faber by knockout at UFC 245 to set up a vacant title matchup with Jose Aldo at UFC 251 in which Yan also finished by TKO to win the belt. Chimaev will be entering the fight undefeated at 10-0, 4-0 since he joined the UFC in 2020. The loss happened during Dern’s first UFC main event as Marina Rodriguez defeated her by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 39. After missing his chance at a title shot in his fight with Ortega, Jung looks to make the most of the position he is in now following Holloway’s injury as he has been granted a title shot that was maybe still one or two wins away. Since then, he has picked up a TKO win over Danillo Belluardo in his debut, followed by back-to-back decision wins over Austin Hubbard and Clay Guida. The next win was another first round TKO finish as he defeated former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in their main event at UFC Fight Night 165. A rematch was scheduled for soon after their first fight however Sterling was forced out of that fight because of problems he was having with his neck following a procedure. In his first fight back, he knocked out Dennis Bermudez in round one of their main event at UFC Fight Night 104. Inching closer to a title shot coming off those two wins, Jung was matched up with Brian Ortega in his next fight at UFC Fight Night 180. As he looks to defend his title for the third time, it will be no easy task as he takes on a tough opponent. When the season was over, Volkanovski and Ortega met at UFC 266 where Volkanovski was able to successfully defend his title for the second time, defeating Ortega by unanimous decision. Overall, Volkanovski holds a record of 23-1 as he has not lost since 2013, winning his last twenty in a row since that one loss.

Hansen got a takedown in the first round, landed some decent ground-and-pound and finished the first five minutes working for an arm-triangle choke.

Chimaev and Burns may well have put on the Fight of the Year on Saturday night in Jacksonville.

"I wanted to be 11-0 with 11 finishes. Chimaev popped back up to land a huge combination before a brawl ensued with Chimaev soon bleeding from his nose. "I go against the odds, I don't care. I won't stop." Just 15 months after he lost a shot at Kamaru Usman's welterweight title despite dropping the defending champion, the 35-year-old Burns routinely answered the huge strikes of Chimaev in order to hold his ground. This is just what I do for work to make money.

At UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev defeated Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision in a dramatic welterweight bout.

With the victory, Chimaev continues rocketing up the UFC ladder toward a title. Burns was widely-regarded as a leap up in competition for "Borz," who has now won all five of his UFC fights inside the distance. As the final horn sounded, Chimaev laid on top of Burns but wouldn't let go. Burns shoved him off and Chimaev landed an open-hand slap - all after the horn. Another giant Burns punch floored Chimaev to the canvas. The first round played out as many of Chimaev's fights have in the past.

'Craziest fight ever watched': UFC stunned over bloody 'war'

“Who’s the famous fighter? Who’s the most people [talking] about? Those guys don’t know how to get up, the other ones didn’t know how to wrestle. And that he did. “I don’t see a monster. You either make it through or you don’t. He made it through with flying colours.”

Mackenzie Dern defeated Tecia Torres by split decision in a closely contested bout, doing just enough in the first two rounds to secure the victory. This fight ...

This was a fight that was right there for Pichel (14–3), who entered the bout having won three in a row and seven of his last eight. The card also features a bantamweight unification title bout pitting Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan. This fight features an unparalleled backstory, as Yan intentionally injured Sterling in their last fight and has shown no remorse for nearly ending his career. But the fight with the most intrigue will be third from last, with Khamzat Chimaev seeking to continue bulldozing his way through the UFC’s welterweight division. Torres was in a bad place for almost the entire second round, but found new life in the third after landing an up kick to Dern’s face. So this fight ending in a unanimous decision seems awfully hard to believe, especially considering Burns won the second round in lopsided fashion. Torres (13–6) has never been finished as an MMA pro, though that came precariously close to changing in the second round when Dern (12–2) applied her kimura. Yet Burns survived the onslaught, then did damage to Chimaev in the second round. This TKO victory was a clinic for Volkanovski (24–1). Referee Herb Dean made the right call in stopping the fight, and he could have even called for a stoppage sooner. This was the only fight of the main card not to end by decision, and the performance further highlights Volkanovski’s brilliance. Yan came out furiously in the fourth, shifting his approach to control the round with ground-and-power. Pichel (14–3) looked his best in the second round, but he delivered no substantial offense in the final five minutes. The win is certainly important for Chimaev, but he likely needs one more win before he earns himself a title shot.

But the 32-year-old Torres (13-6) escaped two submission holds and was impressive over the final five minutes to nearly upset the fifth-ranked woman in the strawweight division.

With her husband and young daughter sitting cage side, Dern dominated the second round thanks to a variety of Brazilian jiu-jitsu moves. Sweden’s Khamzat Chimaev took another step toward mixed martial arts stardom with a unanimous decision against 35-year-old Brazilian Gilbert Burns in the welterweight division. Jung, better known as “the Korean Zombie,” was battered, bloodied and struggling to breathe after the first three rounds.

Jung, better known as ‘the Korean Zombie’, was battered, bloodied and struggling to breathe after the first three rounds.

Ce sera une troisième défense de son titre, lui qui est champion depuis son premier combat contre Holloway en 2019.

Chimaev et Burns ont offert tout un spectacle, notamment au deuxième round puisqu’ils ont chacun échangé de nombreuses combinaisons. Yan n'a pas été une proie facile et il a tout donné dans les dernirs rounds. Il a amené Yan au sol à plusieurs reprises. JACKSONVILLE, Floride - Alexander Volkanovski (24-1) a ajouté à sa légende samedi. Sterling a complètement dominé la première portion du combat. Le champion acontinué sa domination au son de la cloche.

Lead right from Jung lands before the horn. Volkanovski is trying to land the big one. R2: Big jab from the champion. 10-9 Volkanovski Volkanovski jumps on top and flurries big but the Zombie survives. Although Volkanovski acknowledged after that a trilogy against Holloway could still be in the cards, he sent a message to the rest of the division. Subscribe to Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell for the best analysis and in-depth news, including an instant reaction at the conclusion of the PPV event. I will have to think on that." He mixed in calf strikes beautifully with punching combinations and routinely buzzed or dropped Jung with nearly every big power shot. "I told you all before this fight that I am on another level now and can't be stopped," Volkanovski said. Although Jung set a record for the most time passed between title fights after trying unsuccessfully in 2013 to unseat Jose Aldo, he was simply never in the fight against Volkanovski. If there was any disappointment in having to face a late replacement as an opponent on Saturday, Alexander Volkanovski never showed it.

Who will the standouts from UFC 273 fight next? Brett Okamoto plays matchmaker.

She doesn't need to get to a title fight in 2022. Yan is a scary opponent, and Cruz would have to be perfect. It was a close fight that could have gone either way, but the UFC is not about to run it back again. He was willing to take the fight the rest of the division didn't want in Chimaev, and he very nearly pulled it off as a significant underdog. There are a lot of moving parts in all of this, and I don't know if Burns and Usman would ever fight again, unless there were a title on the line. But Chimaev looked human in this fight, and Covington is one of the best in the world. If Edwards loses to Usman, this makes a ton of sense -- although I will say, I think the UFC would take a close look at Edwards vs. He accepted all of that, and put on one of the best performances of his career, even in a loss. The UFC is looking at a return to England this summer. A part of me hates to see them fight because one has to lose and then you lose a potential title challenger. But Allen is still looking to build his profile, and a fight against Jung would do that. Jung is 35 and says he still has a little left in the tank.

Chimaev had a more difficult time than he did in his first four UFC wins, but he proved he can beat an elite foe.

Will anyone ever steal the show from the 27-year-old Chechnya-born Swede? If he does end up in the cage with Covington, as the UFC would like, Chimaev (11-0) would surely be a crowd favorite, but what would the oddsmakers say? Chimaev clearly had proved to them that he belongs in the top tier. Saturday was a big night for fighters proving their worthiness of the exalted place they already hold in the sport. All champions in all divisions are called upon to prove themselves every time -- but for Sterling the demand was more so. He dropped Burns with a crisp jab, and from top position on the canvas he dropped punches and elbows, one of which opened a cut on the Brazilian's head. He even looked ahead to Chimaev's next one, saying that if the Chechnya-born Swede defeated Burns, the UFC would try to book him against Covington on a rare network TV show. When UFC president Dana White went on SiriusXM radio to promote the pay-per-view, he spoke just a little about Alexander Volkanovski's main event featherweight title defense against Chan Sung Jung. He said not a word about the co-main bantamweight title bout between champ Aljamain Sterling and former champ Petr Yan. Instead, White spent much of his time talking about Chimaev, "somebody that people are very excited about." And despite Burns' lofty credentials and Chimaev's relative inexperience at a high level, many had no hesitation in predicting a Chimaev win. Standing across the cage from Chimaev on Saturday was a fighter on a whole different level. This time he was in a competitive fight. Burns had been bloodied and beaten down in a brutal opening round, but he had survived. A 124-2 edge in total strikes in his UFC debut.

Two judges Saturday scored the 135-pound title fight 48-47 for Aljamain Sterling, while a third had it 48-47 for Petr Yan.

Dillashaw was in attendance for the fight in Florida. He returned from his suspension last July and beat Cory Sandhagen via decision. He also spent a good deal of time in top position himself during the fourth round. "I had it 3-2 the other way. He began stuffing takedowns and making Sterling pay for the failed attempts. Sterling, of Long Island, New York, clearly won the second and third rounds, as he managed to take Yan down and immediately take his back. He beat my ass the first fight.

Sterling took control of the fight early on the ground and never looked back as he exorcised his demons.

"I think I won three rounds of the fight. Yan was much busier to open Round 4 and not only was he much better at keeping his back off the ground, his quick transitions out of trouble led to some sequences of big strikes from top position. Yan, 29, appeared lucky to get out of the second round after Sterling, who was relentless in pursuit of takedowns, pulled Yan down and instantly took his back.

Hell, she just defeated the division’s most reliable high-level gatekeeper in a bout where her bread and butter was only able to set the tone for a single round. As for a next step, I understand why Sterling and the UFC are eyeballing T.J. Dillashaw as the next challenger to his throne. 4. Few sights in MMA are more harrowing than watching a strawweight get trapped in the jaws of death that is Mackenzie Dern’s ground game. Pound-for-pound is always a fairly stupid and subjective argument, but it’s getting harder to deny Volkanovski as a top three, top two, or even top one talent in the sport. Sterling has been the butt of the joke for more than a year now, ridiculed everywhere he went, largely due to factors outside of his control. I don’t hate it, but I also don’t love it, partly because Dillashaw should’ve lost his return against Cory Sandhagen on any reasonable scorecard, and partly because it feels iffy to reward an admitted cheater with a title shot after just one indecisive fight back.

Really, it was a boxing stoppage — and Dean did Jung a mercy, because the outcome was only headed in one direction. It was the perfect way to settle us all down and ground Chimaev’s path a bit more in reality. But his heart, his chin, his recoverability, and most of all, his gameness — they’re all on a world-class level as well. That’s why Saturday was probably a necessary result in the long run. Chimaev is now a card-carrying member of the club — he’s one of the best welterweights on planet Earth. It’s a fact.
