Thompson took to the octagon this weekend to confirm that he had, in fact, regained his good momentum in his career. After overcoming a negative sequence of two defeats, the athlete, who had beaten Vincent Luque about a year ago, he returned to shine on the UFC stage. For five rounds, the North American controlled Geoff neal, who was undefeated with the company's gloves. The result also kept the athlete in fifth place in the group led by Kamaru Usman.
Responsible for consolidating the bad moment of Marlon moraes, Rob font was another athlete rewarded by the company. After being almost surprised by the Brazilian, the athlete managed to recover and surprised the Friborg native with a devastating knockout in the first round. With the triumph, Font should leave 11th place in the bantamweight rankings (up to 61,2kg) and move even closer to the elite of the category.
Responsible for stopping the former NFL's two-game winning streak, Greg hardy, Marcin tybura was rewarded for the challenge faced this weekend. After going through a huge scare in the first round, when he was almost knocked out by his rival, the Pole staged a huge comeback in the second round and settled the score against the giant after an overwhelming sequence of punches.
In the biggest dreams of Jimmy Flick perhaps it would not be the way in which the UFC Las Vegas 17 was closed for him. New to the organization, the flyweight (up to 56,7kg) had a tough fight against cody durden, but managed to control the situation and overcame his rival with a triangle in the first round. Like the previous ones, the athlete also takes US$50.
