Katie Taylor x Amanda Serrano
Despite negative reviews about subpar fights at the event Jake Paul x Mike Tyson, the rematch between women's boxing legends Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano was one of the exceptions of the night and made history. After all, there was a lot at stake in that fight: the unified WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF world titles at super lightweight.
Both Taylor and Serrano demonstrated extraordinary determination in the ring at AT&T Stadium in Texas (USA) in a 10-round fight. The Irish fighter started out on the attack, but realized that she couldn't afford to be careless in the face of her Puerto Rican opponent's heavy hand. The two warriors exchanged many blows in a well-balanced fight, driving the crowd wild. In the sixth round, Taylor accidentally headbutted Serrano, who suffered a deep cut on her eyebrow. Even though she was bleeding heavily, the Puerto Rican fighter told the doctor that she would continue in the fight.
In the eighth round, Taylor headbutted Serrano again, which cost her a point that was taken away by the referee. It was her rival's hope for a comeback. Even so, in the judges' decision, the point made little difference and the victory was given to the Irishwoman, who kept the belts. However, both received a standing ovation for the spectacle that night.
Petr Yan x Deiveson Figueiredo
The main fight of UFC Macau between Petr yan e Deiveson Figueiredo It was a true five-round war. The Brazilian, who moved up from flyweight (up to 56,7 kg), had already won three fights at bantamweight (up to 61,3 kg) and was facing a former champion of the category who was going through his worst phase, with only one win in five fights.
But the Russian entered determined to relive his glory days in the octagon. With a lot of determination, will and technique, he managed to use his head to gain an advantage over the Brazilian.

He connected good attacks, kept his distance and found a way to stay on top when he was taken to the ground.
A memorable fight, which was only not better for Brazilian fans because the judges gave the victory by unanimous decision to Yan. Even so, the show was worth the ticket.
Charles do Bronxs x Michael Chandler
The best fight of the month had everything: Brazilian superiority, American dirty play, scare, 'tag'... an exciting clash! The rematch between Charles do Bronxs and Michael chandler was the co-main event of the UFC 309 and overshadowed the main showdown that night between Jon Jones e Stipe Miocic.
Charles showed his superiority from the beginning of the fight. He landed good punches, knees and knocked Chandler to the ground however he wanted, several times. The American, in turn, abused the dirty play. He hit the Brazilian in the eyes with his fingers twice, grabbed the fence when he was knocked down, held his opponent's gloves... and the referee did nothing. An unforgettable scene was when Chandler ran 'from the hunt of the blurred lion', in what looked like a game of 'tag'.
In one of the attacks that hit the Brazilian's eyes in the last round, Chandler almost reversed what already seemed certain. He connected with a punch that knocked Charles down and fired several blows to the opponent's head (some to the back of the neck). But do Bronx managed to keep calm enough to reverse the situation and place a padlock on the American's back.
Chandler then repeated what he had done in his first defeat to Charles. He jumped on the ground with the Brazilian on his back to try to get the air out of his lungs, but, unfazed, the Brazilian seemed to feel nothing and even stuck his tongue out at the cameras.
At end, Charles of the Bronx was crowned after a unanimous decision by the judges and imposed the second victory over Michael chandler. It was definitely the fight of the month!
