UFC VANCOUVER ‘DE RIDDER VS. ALLEN’ PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES
Cody Gibson vs. Aoriqileng
Official decision: Aoriqileng def. Cody Gibson by KO (straight right), round 1 (0:21)
Round 1: Aoriqileng laid Gibson out with a big right hand inside of a minute. Gibson had thrown early, but Aoriqileng fired back with two big shots. He didn’t need a third.
An all veteran match-up next.
Bruno Silva vs. Hyun Sung Park
Official decision: Bruno Silva def. Hyun Sung Park by submission (rear naked choke), round 3 (2:15)
Silva gets a big win and Park’s status as a rising talent is now on ice.
Round 3: Park went after it in round three, throwing big combos and landing hard to the head and body. Silva tried to get a takedown to stop him, but Park stuffed the first two and kept firing away. After Park slowed down Silva hit him with a big knee to the body and then a takedown. Park stood and got to the fence, but Silva dragged him down again and got on his back. After a scramble Silva got under the neck and ended it with a submission.
Round 2: Silva got a knockdown early, with a left hook, and then tried to grapple Park. Park was able to scramble his way out of it, though. Later Silva landed a big single leg. Park worked his way back up, but Silva scored another takedown in the last minute. Silva up big after two.
20-18 Silva
Round 1: Silva started brightly on the feet. Park scored a takedown early on, but Silva was able to get up before Park could take his back. Silva then landed a good uppercut and a takedown of his own. Park got up quickly, though. Park landed a nice knee and an elbow. One of those cut Silva. Close round, but Silva did slightly more.
10-9 Silva
Park gets a chance to rebound from his quick loss to Taira now.
I was wrong on that decision, but I’m glad Santos got the win. I think Barlow won the first two rounds, but Santos won the fight — if that makes sense. Great fight, though.
Danny Barlow vs. Djorden Santos
Official decision: Djorden Santos def. Danny Barlow by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Round 3: Santos came out and got right in Barlow’s face. Barlow looked tried and still a little foggy. Santos landed early, but Barlow warmed up and responded with his lefts. Barlow then went down off a slip, while going for a kick. Santos jumped on top of him. After they get back to the feet Santos lands more shots. Santos gets the last round, but I have him losing – rounds one and two are very hard to score, though.
29-28 Barlow
Round 2: Barlow landed hard shots early in the round, knocking Santos’ mouthpiece out. He landed his heavy left hand a few times. Santos was able to get a couple of breaks after, though, once from the mouthpiece getting picked up and another for a glancing eye poke. Barlow took over after the second restart and had Santos on the ropes with more of those left hands. Santos’ chin held up, though. He survived and then started to land on Barlow, wobbling him with a right hand. Santos poured it on with twenty seconds left.
Very hard to score that one. Barlow won the first four and a half minutes and then Santos almost finished him in the final 30 seconds.
I give it to Barlow, but I’d rather be Santos heading into this third and final round.
20-18 Barlow
Round 1: A competitive round spent entirely on the feet. Both men landed some shots. Barlow looked the cleaner striker. However, Santos’ big single shots were very menacing and Barlow just missed getting clipped a few times. Barlow did some good work with his low kicks, too.
10-9 Barlow
Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira
Official decision: Stephanie Luciano def. Ravena Oliveira by submission (rear naked choke), round 3 (2:50)
Round 3: Luciano caught an Oliveira superman punch attempt and landed a takedown, early in the round. She then landed some good ground and pound. Luciano gets Oliveira’s back and finds the RNC submission. Total domination in this round and a very good performance from Luciano.
Round 2: Luciano continued to dictate the pace this round and was able to make Oliveira miss and then sting her with some creative shots. Luciano punctuated the round with a late takedown in the center of the cage.
20-18 Luciano
Round 1: Both women did well with landing short combos and kicks. Neither of them was afraid to engage. And both landed a few decent hard shots. Luciano’s striking was cleaner, though, and her elbows were the biggest shots landed in the round.
10-9 Luciano
Luciano is the big favorite here.
Dana White tells us that Stephanie Luciano vs. Ravena Oliveira is up next (I bet my life he couldn’t pick either one out of a line-up).
Started corny, but ended pretty cool:
Belgaroui really did a superb jobbing of handling Bekoev’s pressure and punishing him for charging in so recklessly. With his size, he’s definitely one to watch in the division.
Azamat Bekoev vs. Yousri Belgaroui
Official decision: Yousri Belgaroui def. Azamat Bekoev by TKO (punches), round 3 (0:55)
Round 3: Belgaroui teed off on Bekoev to start the round. Bekoev was tired and started to wilt. Belgaroui kept on him and scored the standing TKO. Great performance from the former GLORY fighter.
Round 2: Both men landed big shots in the second. Balgaroui landed the cleaner shots and showed good movement to avoid many of Bekoev’s big swings. Bekoev looked tired at the end of the round. He failed on a takedown and ended with Belgaroui in top position. Bekoev managed to improve his grappling position, but he wasn’t able to win back the round.
20-18 Belgaroui
Round 1: Bekoev took the center and immediately started making Belgaroui back up. Belgaroui tried to keep him off him with kicks, but Bekoev caught one and used it to get a takedown. Belgaroui got up after some time and avoided taken much damage. Bekoev chased Belgaroui, but walked into a lot of counter shots. Those big counters give Belgaroui the round.
10-9 Belgaroui
Big size difference here.
No idea why this is on the “Prelims”, but oh well.
We’ll take it!
Always nice to start with a finish.
Melissa Croden vs. Tainara Lisboa
Official decision: Melissa Croden def. Tainara Lisboa by TKO (ground and pound), round 1 (4:32)
Round 3: Lisboa came out still hurt and tired in the third round. Croden had a big spring in her step. Croden landed more big shots and Lisboa responded with a takedown. Croden got up without taking damage, though. Croden got a takedown of her own and then used her size to bully Lisboa on the ground. Croden landed lots of ground and pound afterwards. Lisboa managed to get to her feet, only to eat more shots on the feet. Croden dropped her and then finished her late with more ground strikes.
Round 2: Lisboa used her Muay Thai background to good effect in the clinch. Croden ran straight forwards with her jab and ate a lot of counters as a result. Both women landed flash takedowns, Croden manages to land more offensive after her’s, though. After the takedown Croden kicked into more action and landed a lot of punches and got Lisboa down in the corner. That late round surge won the round for her.
10-9 Croden (19-19)
Round 1: Lisboa landed some nice fast combos and some sharp elbows. Croden responded with slower single shots, with jabs and body kicks. Croden’s landed with more power (including one that near buckled Lisboa), but Lisboa’s activity and clinch control outweighed that.
10-9 Lisboa
Melissa Croden vs. Tainara Lisboa is the first fight tonight. Canada’s Croden is making her Octagon debut.
We have the ever evolving Marlon Vera tonight, too.
RDR’s rib cage is an enigma.
Here’s our card for tonight.
