Full results from UFC 278

Middleweight: Paulo Costa (14-2, 6-2 UFC) def.

Paulo Costa and Luke Rockhold Saturday went in not only as the two best middleweights in the world but also as the middleweight most in need of a win.

Costa (14-2) defeated Rockhold (16-6) at UFC 278 on Saturday, collecting a unanimous judges’ score of 30-27 over a hard-fought three-round contest. Both middleweights looked tired in the height of Vivant Arena, especially Rockhold, who repeatedly put his hands on his hips between rounds and was forced to breathe through his mouth as his nose bled.

It was a much-needed win for Costa, who started his career on a 13-match winning streak but was coming off back-to-back losses to Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori.

For Rockhold, a former UFC and Strikeforce champion, it appears to be the end of the road. The 37-year-old got back from a three-year cutback on Saturday and has since declared his compulsory retirement from the Octagon. Although he didn’t say he was done, he was extremely emotional, removing his gloves from inside the cage and nodding when UFC commentator Joe Rogan mentioned the possibility of this being his last fight.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Rockhold said. “I’ve given my all. I’m old.”

Costa, whose last success was against Yoel Romero in 2019, got off to a hot beginning, battling off Rockhold’s initial takedown endeavors. He landed several hard hammers after stuffing one of those early attempts, which immediately caused Rockhold’s face to swell up and his nose to bleed. He kept consistent foot tension on Rockhold, continually driving him to the wall and tossing blends.

Toward the finish of the primary round, Rockhold’s non-verbal communication was frightening. He inclined vigorously vacillating between the first and second, adjusted, more than once bringing down his hands and searching for rest in the activity. He got a rest in the second round when Costa handled an unplanned punch disgracefully. Indeed, even after the break, nonetheless, Rockhold kept on breathing intensely.

As per UFC measurements, Costa landed 106 absolute strikes to Rockhold’s 57.

Rockhold showed heart and determination in the third as he continued to throw dangerous shots despite being tired. Toward the finish of the battle, he turned positions on Costa on the floor and completed the round on top. The battle finished with Rockhold scouring his face on Costa, making bloodstream from his nose onto the Brazilian’s face.

Despite the two losses, Costa is still considered a top-5 middleweight, although he has shown an early interest in boxing.

Men’s bantamweight: Merib Dolishvili (15-4, 8-2 UFC) def.

Dvalishvili had at least five takedowns in everything except two of his last nine UFC battles. He scored twofold figures in three of those meetings. His moniker is “The Machine” and it was clear why.

Was this the end of Dvalishvili? No, it wasn’t. The 31-year-old Brazilian legend from the Republic of Georgia couldn’t get the legend to the canvas, but his relentless efforts against the cage, albeit backfired, sparked a non-stop onslaught of knees to the leg, with The combination required an effort to stop the takedown, which finished Aldo and led to Devalishvili’s seventh straight victory (29-28, 29-28, 30-27).

The winning streak tied Dvilishvili with the champion in the bantamweight division, but no title showdown is imminent. The winner, Algemene Sterling, is Devalishvili’s preparation accomplice in Long Island, New York, and Devalishvili has no designs to battle him. “He’s my sibling,” Dovelishvili said.

He likewise honored 35-year-old previous featherweight champion, Aldo, from Brazil. Aldo got heartfelt applause during his walkout and the most intense applause of the late evening during his presentation. He saw his three-battle series of wins conclude. Be that as it may, en route, he gained a lot of favor with Dvalishvili.

“He was extremely specialized against the enclosure,” Dvalishvili said. “Ordinarily, I bring everybody down.”

Ladies’ Bantamweight: Lucy Podilova (14-7, 3-5 UFC) def. Wu Yanan (12-6, 1-5 UFC) using second-round TKO

Pudilova was a brawler in her most memorable trip with the UFC. This time around, obviously she’s improved and is undeniably more adaptable.

Utilizing wrestling and vicious ground and pound, Podilova scored a TKO triumph over Wu Yanan at 4:04 of the subsequent round. Podilova, presently preparing at SBG Ireland under mentor John Kavanagh, brought Wu down, brought her back up, went to mount, and was pounding down with large punches and elbows en route. Official Herb Dean had no genuine choice but to step in and stop the fight.

“I can’t acknowledge that I’m back in the UFC,” Podilova said

Podilova likewise had a takedown in the primary round and had a lot of progress on the ground. We had some decent leg kicks on the feet, but Podilova landed forearms and head throws in the second round, Wu got her back and started firing violent elbows from the top position. y, as a result of which she was eliminated. We had no answer.

Podilova, 28, is 5-1 with the Oktagon promotion after being released by the UFC in 2020. The Czech Republic native had four losses before being cut, but two of those were $50,000 Fight of the Night performances.

Wu, 26, of China, battling out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has dropped four in succession.

Light heavyweight: Tyson Pedro (9-3, 5-3 UFC) def. Harry Hunsicker (7-6, 0-3 UFC) using first-round TKO

It wasn’t exactly quite a while in the past, Pedro was viewed as an extremely encouraging possibility at 205 pounds. That feeling has now returned. win the welterweight title

Pedro, 30, lost a great deal of force somewhere in the range of 2017 and 2022 when wounds restricted him to only six all-out appearances, posting an unremarkable 3-3 record. Since returning to prosperity this year, the Australian has recorded successive wraps facing Ike Villanueva and as of now Hunsucker.

It came only 65 seconds into Saturday’s last battle. He got Hunsker with a spotless, counter-left hit. Following the shot landed, Pedro grinned, pointed at Hunsker, and progressed forcefully.

“I prepared extremely hard, it was an undeniably challenging camp,” Pedro said. “To finish this so rapidly, there’s nothing more to it. I haven’t battled before fans in four years, so help me out. Allow me to hear some clamor.”

A move forward in the contest will probably be next for Pedro, as he was an 8-to-1 wagering #1 over Hunsaker. He improves to 5-3 generally in the UFC.

Heavyweight: Marcin Tybora (23-7, 10-6 UFC) def. Alexander Romanov (16-1, 5-1 UFC) by larger part choice

UFC 278 Usman vs. Edwards 2: Leon Edwards scores last-minute knockout to win the welterweight title

Assuming you just watched the principal round of this battle, you’d find it unfathomable that Romanov would leave the Octagon undefeated. He brought Tybora down in under a moment and beat him on the material for the whole initial five minutes, taking a 28-0 benefit in strikes.

Be that as it may, Tybora made due until the horn, and when he emerged for Round 2, he took over against a Romanov with no energy left. Thus, Tybura won the second and third adjustments and was granted a larger part choice, with two adjudicators scoring it 29-28 in support of himself and the third scorecard perusing 28-28 due to the primary round of 16. It was 10-8. – 1 Romanov. win the welterweight title

The 36-year-old Tambora, from Poland, has won six of his last seven battles in the wake of holding consistent in the primary round, wearing out his rival with a takedown in the second, then sluggish punches in the third. Put chilies on it. His experience against high-level resistance – – he’s been with previous UFC champions Fabricio Werdum and Andrei Arlovski, among other top heavyweights – – empowered Tybura to stand his ground at the 4,300-foot rise of Salt Lake City. Can accelerate and remain new.

Romanov, 31 and from Moldova, was a power in the principal round however blurred after that. He has just gone beyond the halfway place of Round 3 three times in his vocation and has scored the completion in 15 of his 16 successes. This time he didn’t have anything available for later when his fuel tank ran out.

Lightweight: Jared Gordon (19-5, 7-4 UFC) def. Leonardo Santos (18-7-1, 7-3-1 UFC) by consistent choice

Salt Lake City’s height is 4,226 feet, making cardio a significant storyline at UFC 278. Gordon, clearly knowing this, put resources into working the body – – and hence the fuel tank – – with mind-boggling achievement.

Gordon overwhelmed Santos in a consistent choice (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) triumph, the most uneven choice of Gordon’s profession. Gordon’s cardio was spot on as far as possible and he had the option to score Santos in each round, remembering a reasonable and steady concentration for body shots.

Santos was draining from the nose in the main round and had a cut under his eye toward the primary round’s end. Gordon had a few significant tempests that caused harm. In the meantime, Santos, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace, was always unable to ground Gordon in a predominant position. By the third round, Santos was depleted and Gordon was all the while moving and getting right in front of him.

Gordon, 33, has won four of his last five battles. The New York local, who trains out of Kill Cliff FC in Florida, is currently 7-4 in the UFC. Santos, 42, who battles out of Brazil’s Nova Uniao camp, has dropped three positions in succession.

Men’s Featherweight: Sean Woodson (9-1-1, 3-1-1 UFC) and Luis Saldaña (16-7-1, 2-1-1 UFC) brought about a split draw.

There could be no alternate method for saying it: Saldana blew various chances to trade out the irritated triumph against Woodson.

Saldana, battling out of Phoenix, dropped Woodson halfway through the initial round with a perfect left snare. Rather than pursuing him down the floor hoping to polish him off, Saldana nonchalantly left and allow Woodson to get up, and didn’t forcefully seek after him even though Woodson did. saw Very unsound.

The genuine error came minutes after the fact, in any case when Saldana dropped him again with a straight left. Once more, Saldaña decided not to follow him to the floor. As Woodson sat up, Saldana shook him with an explicitly unlawful knee to the head, making the activity pause, and official Mike Beltran dock Saldana at a point.

The remainder of the challenge was somewhat inactive, with Woodson doing minimal more. He compromised Saldana with a changed triangle stifle in the subsequent round and worked a consistent punch in the third. The outcome, to a great extent because of a point derivation, was a parted draw. The adjudicators’ scorecards read 29-27 Woodson, 29-27 Saldana, and 28-28.

Woodson, who battles out of St. Louis, is currently 3-1-1 in the UFC, while Saldana is 2-1-1.

Welterweight: Ange Lusa (9-3, 1-1 UFC) def. AJ Fletcher (9-2, 0-2 UFC) by consistent choice

Cycle 3 was played at a sluggish speed, with Fletcher laying on his back and showing little work to get up, and Lusa keeping up with top position yet putting forth little attempt to complete the battle. Yet, the fans didn’t begin booing until there was scarcely a brief left. How should these two warriors overcome what they gave in the principal round?

Louisa burned through the vast majority of that center round landing right hand after right hand to the essence of Fletcher, who was bloodied and shaking by the mid-five-minute imprint. Yet, the high result tired Lusa, and Fletcher took advantage late in the round with his rival staggering around the enclosure, expecting to hop on the off chance that ref Mike Beltran drew nearer.

The horn blew as the fans thundered, and the two contenders didn’t have anything to give starting there on. In any case, simply returning the battle once again to the material right off the bat in the third round and keeping it there, Lusa did what’s needed to get the success (29-27, 29-28, 29-28). win the welterweight title

Luz is 28 and from Switzerland, yet prepares in South Florida. He won in the Octagon interestingly since dropping his UFC debut in April.
