Islam Makhachev exploits the slightest of openings.
Makhachev completed a takedown midway through the first round, settled in half guard and went to work. Moicano initiated a scramble, only to wander into the champion’s clutches. Makhachev rolled into position for the choke, tightened his squeeze and elicited the tapout. With that, he put his 15th straight victory in the books, leaving him one shy ofwith his breakneck pace and retained his undisputed bantamweight championship with a unanimous decision in their five-round co-main event.
Hill fought fire with fire against the Czech berserker. Prochazka felled him with a straight left in the first round, withstood significant punishment in the middle stanza—“Sweet Dreams” hurt him to the body on more than one occasion—and turned up the heat in the third. He floored Hill with a clubbing right hook, swarmed with follow-up shots and then briefly reset. A right uppercut from Prochazka resulted in another knockdown and set the stage for the stoppage.
De Ridder delivered a takedown inside the first 10 seconds, shed a triangle choke from his counterpart and unloaded with ground-and-pound. A slashing elbow strike snuck through Holland’s defenses and opened a cut above his left eye. De Ridder eventually advanced to the back, secured his position with a body triangle and cinched the fight-ending choke.Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev, Justin Gaethje vs.
