Not a bad night, too bad I got sucked into that Fury fight, not only a loser but it cost me time away from UFC and I missed at least one win as I had Hill for sure. At least the right in Riyadh was amazing.
Fight Of The Night: Edson Barboza vs Lerone Murphy
Have a day
Lerone Murphy!
The Manchester native made good on his first UFC main event, putting on the best performance of his UFC career opposite of Edson Barboza. For 25 minutes Murphy put the pressure on Barboza, not giving the dangerous Brazilian striker a chance to get on the gas. Murphy survived a scare in the final moments of the first frame and flipped a switch in between rounds that put him in the driver’s seat for the remainder of the fight.
Murphy landed 220 significant strikes and scored four of his six takedowns to stifle Barboza. The durability of both fighters was impressive, and by the end of the fifth round there was no doubt – Lerone Murphy is a true player at featherweight.
Performance Of The Night Bonuses
Performance Of The Night: Khaos Williams
During fight week
Khaos Williams said he was capable of more than knocking people out, it’s just what happens when he fights, and it happened against at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy.
90 seconds into his co-main event bout with Carlston Harris, the 30-year-old landed a right hook that put the lights out on Harris. It was a perfect knockout and the perfect statement for Williams to make as he angles his way to the welterweight rankings.
Performance Of The Night: Angela Hill
For years,
Angela Hill has been working for an elusive UFC finish. Well, she finally got it and got it in the form of her first career submission win. In the second round Hill locked up a guillotine choke on Luana Pinheiro that forced the tap. It was a triumphant moment for the 39-year-old, who continues to prove that she absolutely deserves to be competing with the best strawweights in the world. With 25 UFC fights under her belt, and with back-to-back wins, Hill is in a prime position to make a run.
