UFC 328 was a genuinely good card on paper and it delivered plenty of action in practice too. Baisangur Susurkaev defeated Djorden Santos via rear naked choke to kick off our finishes, but he had a lot of folks worried up to that point. Jim Miller proved once again that he feasts off any mistake, instantly capitalizing and making Jared Gordon tap out to a guillotine. It really is Miller Time tonight. Grant Dawson would keep the submissions rolling with a nice rear naked choke of Mateusz Rebecki.

Yaroslav Amosov continued to impress with his own submission, an anaconda choke of Joel Alvarez. I look forward to his next fight because it’s always nice to see an outsider come in and wreck shop. Ateba Gautier’s sweet KO of Ozzy Diaz rounded out the prelims, and is no doubt giving the brass another great finish to consider for one of the big bonuses.

King Green kicked off the main card with a submission win over Jeremy Stephens. Yep, you read that right, King Green scored a rear naked choke at 4:20 of the first round. The jokes write themselves here. Joshua Van defended his belt in one of the best fights of the year, an action-packed firecracker. The end would come in the fifth round, a TKO that finally put Tatsuro Taira down for the night, even though he clearly wasn’t ready for the fight to be called. Absolute barn-burner.

In the main event, Chimaev would come out strong in the first round, absolutely smothering Strickland for the entire round. But, as history has shown us, Khamzat has the gas tank of a fruit fly and blew his wad in the first, and Sean would handily take the second round. It would take the rest of the fight for him to regain some semblance of his cardio, but never enough to have a truly dominant round, and not enough to get Strickland back down for any significant amount of time. It ended up costing him the win, as the two “standing and banging”—she said using her heaviest quote fingers—was what we got for the last three rounds, and the split decision favored Sean. Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.

UFC 327 was a really solid card on paper and it delivered some solid moments in practice, too. Vicente Luque defied oddsmakers when he not only defeated Kelvin Gastelum, he stopped him in the second with a pretty gnarly D’arce choke. Tatiana Suarez kept her streak alive when she choked out Loopy Godinez in the second round, and Mateusz Gamrot put an early end to Esteban Ribovis’ night with an arm triangle to wrap up the best moments of the prelims.

The main card opened with Cub Swanson stopping Nate Landwehr in the first round—a picture perfect ending to a great career. Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes didn’t end in a finish, but it was a decent enough fight with plenty of action that saw Hokit scrape by on the score cards. Paulo Costa defeated Azamat Murzakanov via headkick TKO in the third round after looking like he’d exhausted himself shortly before was absolutely not on my Bingo card.

Finally, in the main event, a hobbled Carlos Ulberg knocked out Jiri Prochazka in the first round, a testament to willpower and resolve. Jiri, after seeing that Ulberg’s right knee was injured, started pointing to the mat ala Max Holloway, but he didn’t follow through, instead leaping away when the going got tough. It was like the fight gods were sick to death of being invoked with such casual disregard and ruled in Ulberg’s favor. Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.

UFC 326 started with a bang when Rodolfo Bellato stopped Luke Hernandez via TKO after a spirited first 90 seconds. Hernandez, who was touted as being a great prospect, didn’t manage a great look for very long. Alberto Montes subbed Ricky Turcios with a D’Arce choke to grab the only other finish on the undercard. And Cody Garbrandt, who was definitely on his way to a 29-28 loss, ended up getting fouled multiple times with kicks to the pills (the second one even made poor Cody vomit right in the octagon), resulting in Xiao Long losing two points and the fight.

The main card saw Gregory Rodrigues waste very little time in sending Brunno Ferreira to the land of wind and ghosts, KO’ing the man in under 2 minutes. Drew Dober would follow with a TKO of Michael Johnson in round two. Raul Rosas Jr. dominated Rob Font to take a lopsided unanimous decision, and Caio Borralho followed suit with a lopsided unanimous decision of his own over Reinier de Ridder.

In our final bout, we saw an absolute blowout by Charles Oliveira. He dominated Max Holloway from the jump all the way to the final bell. Chucky Olives looked sensational and now has the BMF belt. Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.
