After a competitive first round between the ranked bantamweights, Chiasson was able to get Bueno Silva’s shoulders to the canvas, where she smashed home a big elbow that split the recent title challenger wide open. When the two eventually made it back to their feet, the fight was paused, the doctor was called in, and ultimately the contest was halted as a result of the severity of the gash.

That’s two straight stoppage wins for the former Ultimate Fighter winner, who continues to climb the ranks and showcase her development as a competitor. Chiasson is one of the few fresh emerging names in the 135-pound weight class, and it will be interesting to see what comes next for her after collecting a stoppage over the recent title challenger.

Following a competitive, low-output first, Dolidze dominated the second, capitalizing on a Smith stumble to pepper “Lionheart” for the remainder of the frame. Smith started to claw back in the third round, connecting with his best shots of the fight in the final two minutes of the contest, but it wasn’t enough to rally all the way back.

The judges were called upon to determine the victor and when the scores were totalled, it was Dolidze that came out ahead, garnering a sweep of the scorecards. With the win, the Georgian snaps a two-fight slide and gets his third UFC victory in the light heavyweight division, where he remains undefeated for his career. | Official Scorecards

Lopes came out fast and aggressive as always, taking the fight to Ige, who agreed to step in for Brian Ortega on Saturday afternoon. The two traded throughout the opening two rounds, with Lopes getting the better of things, before Ige had his best moments in the third as the Brazilian rising star began to slow.

All three judges scored it the same way, awarding Lopes a unanimous decision win with 29-28 scores across the board, moving his record to 4-1 inside the Octagon.

This was a gutsy effort by both men, who deserve the utmost respect. Despite myriad issues, Lopes keeps rolling, and should merit another marquee assignment next time out after everything he’s dealt with here. | Official Scorecards

Saturday night, “Poatan” successfully defended his light heavyweight title with a left high kick seconds into the second round that caught Jiri Prochazka all the way out. The follow-up blows were academic.
