Main Card Results | UFC Macau

The 26-year-old “Mountain Tiger” registered his 18th first-round stoppage win to kick off Saturday’s main card, smashing Ozzy Diaz with a short elbow as the newcomer came forward, sending him crashing to the canvas. Zhang chased him to the ground and pounded out the stoppage, sending the crowd in Macau into hysterics.

With the win, Zhang extends his overall winning streak to 11, and continues his impressive run of first-round finishes, with each of his 18 career wins coming inside the opening five minutes. This is clearly a prospect to watch in the 205-pound weight class.

Across the first two rounds, neither man was able to gain a significant advantage, with Ulberg utilizing a little more variety while Oezdemir prodded forward, trying to hem the City Kickboxing man in along the fence. Both men opened up a little more in the third, with Oezdemir throwing more low kicks and searching for a couple takedowns, while Ulberg stood his ground and traded a little more frequently than he did in the opening 10 minutes.

The judges were tasked with determining a victor, and when the scorecards were read aloud, it was Ulberg that emerged with a unanimous decision win. That’s now seven straight for “Black Jag,” who continues to move forward in the 205-pound weight class, and should find himself sharing the Octagon with another Top 10 opponent next time out.

Wang was controlling the action, but Fernandes shifted the momentum in a flash, stunning her with a left high kick before dropping her with a straight left hand soon after. From there, the MMA Masters representative chased Wang to the canvas, sunk in the rear-naked choke and momentarily put her to sleep.

After starting her UFC career with consecutive losses, that’s now back-to-back wins in 2024 for Fernandes, who moved to 10-3 overall with the massive upset victory.

Song actually landed the first spinning kick of the contest, but it’s almost like it annoyed the “King of Kung Fu” because after a brief pause in the action for an accidental low blow, Salikhov spun and planted his heel on the Chinese athlete’s jaw, sending him crumbling to the canvas.

This was a vintage finish for the 40-year-old divisional mainstay, who has now earned consecutive victories inside the Octagon for the first time since rattling off five straight wins much earlier in his career. Just a beautiful finish from the still dangerous veteran from Dagestan.

After a patient start to the fight, Yan settled in and started to dominate Ricci on the feet, repeatedly stinging “Baby Shark” and asking her to meet her in the pocket. The recent title challenger took a couple good shots in return, but she was able to dictate the terms of engagement throughout while showcasing her strong boxing and growing swagger.

This fight was a reminder of the level Yan has risen to over the years, as she was too sharp and too slick for the game Ricci, who entered on a two-fight winning streak. By picking up the victory, Yan should ensure she faces another top-ranked competitor whenever she begins her 2025 campaign.

This was one of those fights that was closer than the final scores suggested, but also a clear victory for the former champion, as Yan was the more active and effective striker throughout. Figueiredo had his moments, including staggering Yan in the fourth, but every time the Brazilian landed, “No Mercy” quickly responded, ensuring his adversary could never build sustained momentum.

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Yan, who earned his second win of 2024 to further cement his standing as one of the top threats in the 135-pound weight class. This fight was every bit as entertaining as expected, and a tremendous way to wrap up an outstanding return to Macau.
