A former light heavyweight champion has again returned the throne. Alex Perera Less than 90 seconds was required to overwhelm on Saturday night Magomed Anklev And take back the belt lost to Anklev in UFC 313 in March.

In an equally mastery-although a lot of drawn-appearance in a cum-essential event, Merb bicoly It was again proved why he is named “The Machine”. Dvalishvili earned his third male Banomvet title in a unanimous decision victory Corey SandhagenThe champion successfully took Sandhagen down 20 times and was surprised to the end of a five-round of Gauntelet. Is it possible that Dvalishvili is currently the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world? Brett Ocomoto and Jeff Wagenhem give their takeaway with the title quarrels, as well as a vintage knockout Jia prochzka But Khalil Raunty Junior.

Perera’s revenge leaves fans and contemporaries

“Valice is never a good thing,” said Perera, who faced a stone after Saturday’s main event. “It is sometimes like a poison.”

Ananlev may agree with the feeling in which Russian snatched the title after Perera was quick and violently separated by Perera in a rematch of his march bout. But fans who roared at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and, undoubtedly, saw at home that vengeance to be a wonderful spectacle to see vengeance.

It was a heart-pound. it was scary. It was wildly impressive. And it will be in the memories of all those who saw it.

Perera had already secured her place as a star and a legend. The demolition of the 80-second of this night added another attraction in his miraculous heritage. How many more and great moments can he give to fans?

Perera is 38 years old. He does not have time to waste, and made it clear from the moment when the battle began, increased the cage and a big punch was fielded in just a few seconds. He did not connect, but he remained aggressive and in the fight was associated with a Sledaimmer right hand in less than a minute, who killed Anklev, who responded with a weathering effort. Perera defended this, ended at the top and proceeded to leave more than two dozen unanswered punches and elbows until the referee Herb Dean jumped kind.

Electrification Finnish left one of the former champions Prachzka, the victory of Perera’s past, was impressed that he was near the backstage. Another top 205-pound contender, Carlos UlbaragPerera was also given due respect. These aristocrats could not help heavyweight, but could do miracles on the titalholder in his division.

Finally, however, it was Perera who showed respect in the most beautiful manner. During his postfight interview, he stopped to ask for a moment of silence in the arena. Arthur Jones’s family, who died this weekFormer NFL player is the eldest brother of all the biggest MMA Light Heavyweight, John jonesIt speaks of Perera that, at the moment of his victory, he will take time out of his celebration and take time to relax a fellow fighting legend.

A point Perera wanted the world to hear before leaving the cage that the fighter lost to Anklev was an agreement. Perera, led by Remach, said that he was dealing with hands and leg injuries in the first battle. Perera said, “I told everyone that I was not in a good position last time; no one believed it.” “You saw him.”

Yes we did it. And it put cold. – Vagenheem

Dvalishvili is the number 1b pound-for-pound fighter in the world

game

Merb Dvalishvili defeated Cory Sandhagen to maintain the title Bantamweight

Merb Dvalishvili unanimously decided on Cory Sandhagen to maintain her UFC Banditoweight Championship.

Islam Makhachev This one is not going to be happy with me – and he will have the opportunity to spin the story next month when he moves forward in weight to fight welterweight champion Jack dela madlena In UFC 322-but right now, there are two ideas for the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world: Ilya topsis And dvalishvili. Toppuria, Lightweight Champion, is still number 1 with me due to their ability to overcome people, but it is difficult to remember anything like what Dvalishvili is doing.

His fight against Sandhagen has some data for you: 20 out of 37, 385 tried the strike and the first UFC fighter with 100 career Techdown (117 total). Sandhagen was ready for the occasion. He was convinced, he believed in his game plan and his ability to execute – and Dwarishwili excluded him from the arena, smiling and did it. In his fourth title battle in 13 months. All hyperbole in the world are not enough to describe it. It seems that he is raising steam. He is completely unrelated to these titles quarrels. There has been no tension in any of it. It is incredible.

Makhachev is a generation -based fighter and is of course close to crossing the legacy of his retired patron and team partner, Khabib nurmagomedovAnd here I am claiming that there are there Two fighters better than them in the worldThe MMA game is watching three all-time talents in Topapuria, Dwarishwili and Makhachev. Dvalishvili is officially behind Topuriya for me at this time, but it is not much. – Omkoto

Peak prochzka can still be a UFC champion

There are still questions about procházka! Yes, he has lost to Perera twice, and when a fighter loses two titles quarrels from the same opponent, it can withdraw a long way in a championship battle and,, clearly, loss of faith from the fan base. It did not help that Pracheka lost the two titles quarrels for Perera within seven months.

But what can forget here: The first time was defeated to Procházka Perera, he was coming back from a 17 -month trimmed and a serious shoulder injury. The second time when they fought, they agreed to carry forward the UFC 303 on a few weeks notice and to give the title. Connor McGregor Take out with a broken toe. I am not asking any of it to take away from Perera, but both of them had at least-and-edged circumstances for proch. They also have only two disadvantages in the past 10 years.

Obviously, Prachzka cannot claim that he is the best light heavyweight in the world as he has lost to Perera twice and has never fought with Anklev. But this can be a really case. And he can still prove it. – Omkoto
