Prelim Results | UFC 309: Jones vs Miocic

The Brazilian prospect, who missed weight for each of her first two UFC appearances in the strawweight division, looked sharp on the feet in the first, landing the heavier shots before putting Hardy on the deck late in the frame. In the second, Moura went to the takedown early, keeping Hardy pinned to the canvas for the majority of the frame before the third played out similarly to the first.

All three judges scored the fight for Moura, who moved to 2-1 in the UFC and 11-1 overall with the win, halting Hardy’s three-fight winning streak in the process. She looked fit, healthy, and powerful in her 125-pound debut, and is one to keep an eye on going forward in the talent-rich flyweight division.

“The Welsh Gangster” was the more active and effective striker throughout his matchup with Bassil Hafez on Saturday, chewing up the lead leg and throwing more volume through the first two rounds before catching him with a sharp right hand early in the third to put him on the canvas. The follow-up blows came quickly and with precision, forcing referee Marc Goddard to step in and stop the contest.

This was an outstanding showing for the 26-year-old Dana White’s Contender Series grad, who pushed his winning streak to eight overall with his first UFC stoppage victory. Charismatic and clearly talented, a step up in competition — and perhaps a main card assignment — could very well be in his future after an effort like this one.

This was an emotional win for the American-Albanian fighter and Fortis MMA representative, who was fighting at home for the first time in his career. After a two-year layoff and loss to Themba Gorimbo last time out, this was a massive effort for Brahimaj to get things moving in the right direction again.

The Polish veteran got clipped in the early moments of the first round and dropped to a knee, managing to pull Diniz on top of him before hitting a half-guard sweep to reverse the position, remaining there for the duration of the frame. Tybura scored a takedown early in the second and eventually worked to mount again, battering Diniz with a stream of elbows that left him battered and bloodied.

Before the start of the third round, the ringside physician checked on Diniz and opted to halt the contest, resulting in Tybura collecting his second stoppage win of the year. This was an outstanding effort from the divisional mainstay, especially on short notice.

Late replacement Roberto Romero stung the Factory X representative a couple different times in the opening stanza, showing great urgency, speed, and power. But Onama weathered the onslaught, responded in kind in the second half of the frame, and started distancing himself from the newcomer in the middle stanza before turning to his grappling to salt things away down the stretch.

This was a strong showing for the explosive competitor from Uganda, who continues to entice with his power and untapped upside. Romero was game and Onama rose to the challenge, securing his second win of the year and third straight win overall, moving to 5-2 in the UFC in the process.

Now 41 years old, this was a strong bounce-back effort after losing to King Green at UFC 300 earlier this year. Miller has now earned a finish in each of his last 10 UFC victories, and has collected victories in three of his last four outings to add to his historic totals inside the Octagon.

Following the contest, the 36-year-old Jackson laid down his gloves in the center of the Octagon, signalling the end of his career. “The Leech” went 6-6-1 with one no contest in two stints with the UFC, and 23-8-1 with one no contest overall.

The MMA Lab representative came out crisp and quick, picking at Jonathan Martinez with his trademark explosive striking, keeping the tenured bantamweight at range for the majority of the first two rounds. Martinez landed a heavy kick at the end of the second that hurt McGhee and claimed the third behind additional low kicks, but the 34-year-old “Maniac” was able to remain upright and reach the final horn.

All three officials scored the fight in favor of McGhee, who moved to 4-0 inside the Octagon and 10-1 overall with the win. It’s the first time in his career that he’s failed to secure a finish, but the victory keeps him moving forward in the ultra-competitive 135-pound ranks.
