VIDEO: UFC 269: Dustin Poirier lost, Charles Oliveira is the champion. Amanda Nunes has fallen! | Šport.sk – ŠPORT.sk

Poirier entered the match with tough combinations. He scored one knockdown and won the 1st round. He seemingly set the pace. Oliveira stepped into the other more actively, getting the challenger under him. Without trying to get up, Poirier collected his elbows during the ground and pound.

At the beginning of the 3rd round, the Brazilian got on his back and grabbed the choke. Poirier couldn’t react this time either, and at 1:02 he was standing helplessly knocking.

Champion Oliveira (32-8) was a mild outsider (1.7 – 2.15) in his first defense at odds. Chabib Nurmagomed received the released belt in May by technical knockout Michael Chandler. The recorder recorded the 10th triumph in a row in the number of finishes, subcommissions and bonuses for the performance of the evening (more only Kamaru Usman), the last time he lost in December 2017 with Paul Felder.

He once again dedicated the victory to the inhabitants of the Brazilian favelas, where he still lives despite his sporting success. The post-match conversation began with a message to all who doubted him: “I’m a champion, I’m a guy. Others say I do. They can hit me, but not stop me. ”

Former temporary lightweight champion Poirier has beaten Conor McGregor in the last two fights of this year (in the latter case, Ireland resigned due to a fracture). In ten matches since September 2016, he lost only to Nurmagomedov. He recorded a seventh loss in the 36th match.

“I planned to be patient, but I killed myself again. I hit some good and clean punches. I thought I would finish it in the first round. However, he showed that he is a champion and a guy, “said Poirier.

Pena shocked the world!

American Julianna Peňaová (11-4) has reached the unimaginable, scalp of the most dominant woman today and, according to many, the history of MMA. Brazilian Amanda Nunes has ruled the bantam weights since July 2016, and since December 2018 she has also been the acting pen champion. She broke records and amassed seven successful defenses during the reign. She did not add the eighth.

Nunes sent her opponent to the ground with the first low kick. From the first combinations in the attitude there was a big difference in strength, it foreshadowed another routine defense of the Brazilian. She passed the American girl again, the second half of the round took place by wrestling on the ground. The champion felt comfortable. She smiled at her opponent and her corner.

The second round brought an unexpectedly open war in attitude. Penaa struck the front-back combination more often, the champion back harder. Frequency prevailed over intensity, Nunes ran out of energy. The challenger pulled her to the ground, grabbed her rear naked choke quite easily, and the champion knocked her off surprisingly quickly.

Peňa became only the fifth bantam champion in UFC history. The world was shocked by the exchange rate disparity of 1.08 – 7.71. “It simply came to my notice then. She knocked, and yet I asked the referee if it was over. Crazy … “the new champion rejoiced.

Nunes suffered her fifth loss in match 26, the first since September 2014. She didn’t look for excuses: “I did what I could. I trained hard for that. Julianna is a warrior, I always knew that. I will return to the gym, I will work even harder and the next match is mine. ”

O’Malley ended the Brazilian, who annoyed Dvořák

The American showman and darling of the “Sugar” fans Sean O’Malley (15-1) danced Raulian Paiva’s hard back in the last minute of the 1st round and followed up with a shower of precise combinations. The Brazilian did not survive the pressure, he fell and lost to TKO 18 seconds before the end.

O’Malley came in with the injured ribs. He admitted that he did not train fully for three weeks. At first, he was 99% convinced that the match would cancel. He was motivated by fans, to whom he again delivered an interesting duel. In 2022, he expects a significant penetration into the TOP 15 and more demanding opponents.

Paiva is known to domestic fans for the planned confrontation with the Czech David Dvořák, the duel was to take place in May. The Brazilian resigned the day before the fight due to complications caused by a rapid drop, in addition, the match did not meet the limit before.

Dvořák called his behavior unprofessional and called him a fool. Weight problems were the reason for the return from the fly to the bantam division.

Kara-France destroyed former champion Garbrandt

Former bantam champion Cody Garbrandt was not helped by the transfer to the fly division, which was motivated by four losses from the last five matches. At the debut in New Weight, Kai Kara-France (23-9) was above his strength.

The New Zealander put his opponent in the back in the middle of the 1st round. Garbrandt saved himself for a moment by fleeing and subsequent takedown. However, he did not shake, collected again and the referee ended the fight.

Sixweights Kara-France has scored the winner of the title battle Brandon Moreno – Deiveson Figueiredo. The duel was to take place today at UFC 269, but the later canceled match Jorge Masvidal – Leon Edwards postponed the confrontation at UFC 270 (it will take place on January 11 with the heavyweight title appetizer Francis Ngannou – Ciryl Gane).

Former King Cruz is on the winning wave again

Former two-time bantamweight champion with three successful defenses Dominick Cruz (24-3) returned last May after a break of more than three years. In the fight for the title, he collected a technical knockout from Henry Cejud. He has been winning ever since, after Casey Kenney, he beat Pedro Munhoz again for points. The duel was declared the match of the evening.
