Prelim Results | UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs Pyfer

Amil took the fight to Garcia in the first, hurting the Fortis MMA fighter until he got caught with a counter hook that buckled his legs. He recovered and once again put it on Garcia, but the Texan persisted, with the fight somehow reaching the close of the opening round. In the second, it was all Amil, as he marched across the cage and put it on Garcia swiftly, registering the standing stoppage finish.

A member of last year’s graduating class on Dana White’s Contender Series, the 33-year-old moved to 9-0 with the win, and instantly established himself as an all-action new addition to the 145-pound weight class.| Official Scorecards 

The light heavyweight from Uzbekistan registered a first-round stoppage win over Zac Pauga on Saturday, finishing the recent TUF finalist with a series of clean, heavy shots that ended things in a flash. He had connected with similar power earlier in the round, prompting Pauga to clinch, but this time, the heavy-handed UFC sophomore put “The High Chief” down and ended the contest.

After debuting on short notice against Volkan Oezdemir and landing on the wrong end of things, this was a tremendous bounce-back effort for the now 15-3 new arrival in the light heavyweight division. | Official Scorecards 

The more experienced Griffin displayed the cleaner technique, jabbing well and connecting with clean, straight punches throughout, but the force of the shots landed by Wells was clearly greater whenever he did land. It was one of those difficult to call contests where neither man ever really grabbed control of the contest, with the duo instead trading moments for much of the three-round affair.

After 15 minutes, the judges were called upon for the first time in the night, and it was Griffin that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict. The 38-year-old veteran dropped his lone appearance of 2023, but kicked off his 2024 campaign with his 20th career win on Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas. | Official Scorecards 

In each of the first two rounds, the Polish veteran landed the superior shots, chopping at Clark’s lead leg while mixing in attacks to the body and head from both sides. Clark landed with a spinning backfist on the horn to end the second and was the fresher, more effective of the two in the third, but the 35-year-old Prachnio was able to weather the storm and make it to the final horn.

All three judges saw it the same way, awarding the European veteran a unanimous decision victory. Prachnio has now alternated wins and losses through his last five fights, elevating his record to 17-7 overall with the win. | Official Scorecards 

Lookboonmee was able to make up for her height and reach disadvantage by being the more active of the two, landing strong kicks and solid knees in the sporadic moments the two clinched along the fence. Brasil was able to find success at times, but was too content to trade singles and let her opponent dictate the terms of engagement.

Both athletes raised their hands to signal victory following the final horn, but it was Lookboonmee that came out ahead on the scorecards. That’s now three straight wins and victories in five of her last six for the 28-year-old Lookboonmee, who continues to show improvements every time out. | Official Scorecards 

The lightweight from Belgium used a crisp jab to pick at Cuamba early and often, landing it almost at will. Cuamba, a Las Vegas native and natural featherweight, scored a takedown in the second and landed a smattering of blows himself, but didn’t have the snap and power behind the shots to really worry Oki.

This was a solid debut effort for the relatively inexperienced “Zulu Warrior,” who moved to 9-1 with nine consecutive victories with the successful initial foray into the UFC cage. | Official Scorecards 

The Fighting Nerds representative took some time to get comfortable and find his offence in his debut, but late in the second round, Prates stepped into a left hand that found Trevin Giles’ chin and sent him crashing to the canvas in a heap. No follow-up was needed, as the promotional newcomer found the button and shut off the power supply to Giles’ brain with that one single shot.

Another member of the DWCS Class of ’23, Prates had one of the best outings of the season and registered one of the top debut efforts so far this year on Saturday, moving to 18-6 overall with the knockout finish. | Official Scorecards
