-
13
- McCann vs. Carolina
- Molly McCann | KO/TKO | Round 3 | UFC Fight Night
-
McCann with the dominant first round and closed it with the KO of the year so far in the 3rd with the spinning elbow. Really cringe that she grabbed a replica title belt from the crowd afterwards.
-
14
- Barboza vs. Mitchell
- Bryce Mitchell | Decision | UFC 272
-
Bryce absolutely dominated Barboza on the ground all 3 rounds. Loved watching him win 2 10-8 rounds and even drop Barboza with a strike in the first. One of the fights I have looked forward to the most this year.

23

-
Was a fairly underwhelming fight the first 2 rounds but round 3 was fantastic and Cachoeira threw a barrage of elbows. Kim got robbed of this victory inexplicably.

Daukaus with the clinical D'Arce sub with 1 second left in R1.

Tsarukyan dominated that entire fight and that blood was insane.
