Luke Rockhold predicted he would win by utilizing his attacks to the body, and he couldn’t have been anymore spot on. Albeit short, Rockhold’s performance in the first round was impressive. His ability to change levels in his attack is what led to Constantinos Philippou to some confusion when it came to blocking shots. Philippou […]

Tonight’s co-main event was another example of how UFC’s official rankings are irrelevant. Unranked Brad Tavares outworked and outclassed #13 Lorenz Larkin en route to a unanimous decision victory.

TJ Dillashaw lost his last fight against Raphael Assuncao, but being a part of “Bang Muay Thai” means he has the potential to improve tenfold between bouts.

There was a big size difference for Cole Miller in this fight and he opted to use it to his advantage. Miller’s reach kept Sam Sicilia at bay with jabs and teep kicks. Sicilia knew he was at a severe size disadvantage and made his strategy obvious: Dictate where the action went and back Miller […]

Both Ramsey Nijem and Justin Edwards landed decent shots throughout the beginning of the first round.

You could consider Vinc Pichel a knockout artist.
