[Koslow](/athlete/steven-koslow) were engaged in a back-and-forth fight midway through the second round when Saaiman levelled Koslow with an illegal knee to the head. It took a while for Curtis to reach the UFC stage, but the 35-year-old has been making the most of his time in the Octagon. Late in the third, Brown worked to set up an arm triangle choke, clamping his hands together and clearing his legs, drawing out a tap from Silva. Shahbazyan began his UFC career with four straight wins, and then lost three straight before taking a year off. Recognizing he had the veteran hurt, the former surging prospect put it on Lungiambula, unloading a non-stop stream of punches and elbows that forced referee Chris Tognoni to step in and stop the fight.

The first round was close, but Ankalaev seemed to get the better of things, while Blachowicz used heavy leg kicks to hobble the fighter from Dagestan in the second and third.

Pimblett improved to 20-3 as a professional and 4-0 in the UFC with three stoppages. Pimblett also revealed that he injured his foot early in the fight and that he wanted to work with Gordon on supporting charitable efforts. The strike count was low on both ends, but Pimblett landed a handful of solid elbows and knees with his back to the fence. Gordon held Pimblett against the cage for the majority of the round, but he landed barely any strikes of substance. Pimblett has a tendency to keep his chin high and Gordon made him pay for it early and often. All three judges scored the fight 29-28 in favor of Pimblett, but some judges awarded each fighter different rounds.

Yahoo Sports scored it 30-27 for Gordon, but all three judges (Doug Crosby, Chris Lee and Ron McCarthy) had it 29-28 for Pimblett.

He lost if you think he won that fight you’re a fake. The state commission picks and controls the judges in place. This is a marketing skeem bull shit I won the first two rounds and coasted in the third. [@UFC]doesn’t control the judging. Can’t blame the UFC and say “they got Paddy their money train beat”. Too far along for it to be this much of an issue. And a 1-2. And a high kick. [December 11, 2022] It’s a miracle they kept him winning all the way till tonight.

A huge step in left hook landed for Gordon but Pimblett was unphased. Pimblett immediately took the center, landed a body kick and threw one to the head. Gordon landed a takedown and took the back but was too high and slipped off. Ankalaev pressed forward and landed a decent left straight from the southpaw stance. And now it's time for the final fight of the night. Both guys threw simultaneously with Ankalaev landing a nice right hand on the exit. Ankalaev isolated Blachowicz's leg with a grapevine and softened Ankalaev up with punches. Ankalaev landed a nice overhand right but Blachowicz responded with a hard body kick and more leg strikes.

Ankalaev appeared to win the vacant championship with his smothering wrestling game in the fight’s closing rounds. But a strategy change from Ankalaev proved repeatedly effective as the Russian fighter spent much of the final 10 minutes in dominant top position.

Las Vegas (AP) -- The light heavyweight title remained vacant Saturday night after judges awarded the main event in UFC 282 a draw so controversial that ...

3 Blachowicz (29-9-1) walked over to fourth-ranked Ankalaev (18-1-1) and told him he deserved the belt. The business owners that power this multibillion dollar industry are changing, and a new era of the business of sports is underway. If the only thing you know about sports is who wins and who loses, you are missing the highest stakes action of all.

Paddy Pimblett is "baffled" and "annoyed" after his controversial UFC 282 win over Jared Gordon.

“The control time, in the last round, yeah, he controlled me against the fence, but he didn’t do anything with it. Some people have said to me, they think I won all three rounds, even the third, because he never did anything with the control time. Twenty-three of 24 media outlets scoring the fight gave it to Gordon, with a little less than half giving the American the 30-27 shutout. “But I’ll be honest, I thought I won the first two, and I took the third round off. There’s a likely another conversation ahead about the MMA scoring and how judges look at the action they’re seeing. “Nowadays, fights get scored off damage, and I’ve got a cut lip, that’s it,” he said. The lesson for Pimblett was clear in retrospect: never bank on judges’ interpretation of the action. “You don’t see that at all from any others, because it’s 15 minutes long.” Whatever the split for and against him, the unanimous decision was the inescapable fact for the U.K. “I’m bit annoyed after people saying they thought I lost,” Pimblett said during the UFC 282 post-fight show. I think I was landing the better knees and little short shots in those positions when he had me pushed against the cage.” But I’m 4-0 in the UFC – haters going to hate, you’ve got to get on with it.”

Rosas Jr. lived up to the hype and trounced Jay Perrin to win the first round via a rear-naked choke.

Opinions are like a**holes: Everyone's got one,” Pimblett told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC 282. “I know I won that fight. Simple as (that).

Despite his defense of the scoring, Pimblett admits he could’ve been on the verge of defeat. I deal in facts, and I won a unanimous decision. He doesn’t know when or against whom he’ll fight next, but said he will be prepared for all comers. The overwhelming majority of media and fellow fighters scored the fight against the Brit, but that doesn’t shake Pimblett’s confidence in the result. Simple as (that). “I know I won that fight.

What mattered most at UFC 282 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas? Here are a few post-fight musings … 5. History for Raul Rosas Jr. MMA Junkie. 283K subscribers.

All the best, most interesting, and unquestionably coolest fights the UFC needs to book following their latest event in Las Vegas, NV.

Fights with Sodiq Yusuff or Lerone Murphy wouldn’t be a bad idea to that end, but Julian Erosa has a bout coming up with Alex Caceres and the winner of that seems like they’d provide one hell of a scrap to a man like Quarantillo. Speaking of which, a fight against Roman Dolidze wouldn’t be the worst way for the UFC to go coming out of Curtis’ latest win. This was almost always the way this fight was going to have to go for Chris Curtis. Exactly the fight Rozenstruik needed to jump back on the horse in the heavyweight division. Martinez has had a little success already in the UFC and is coming off a hard won bout against Brandon Davis. That said, there’s a big difference between being set up to do a thing and actually performing in the moment. For a fighter like Rosas, who really thrives in back-takes out of scrambles, a fighter like ‘The Joker’ was always gonna be there for him to work his A-game. A fighter who clearly has the technical skill as a striker, the physical tools to compete at a very high level, and who has put a ton of work in to round out his game. The youngest ever fighter to hit the Octagon has started his UFC career off with a win. Got a great stylistic matchup for his intro to the big show, in flat footed brawler Jay Perrin. Even if the UFC isn’t going to put the title back on the line, the bout was originally intended to be a top-contender’s fight for the winner of Prochazka vs. Is the UFC going to start throwing Pimblett in the deep end of the pool?
