This was a patient clash between a pair of fighters looking to find the right shots and be efficient with their output, resulting in the two men running level for much of the contest; Abdelwahab coming out of the corner stronger in the first half of the rounds before Pogues warmed into things in the back half. With the outcome seemingly hanging in the balance heading into the third, both men came out a little more spirited and active, with neither man taking clear control of the fight, leaving it to the judges to sort out.
When the scores were collected and totalled, it was Abdelwahab that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict, registering his first UFC victory.

The gritty Canadian was able to hold her own with the former bantamweight title challenger on the feet, but dominated the action whenever the fight hit the canvas, utilizing her top game to punish the Brazilian. As always, the volume and conditioning from Jasudavicius were impressive parts of her arsenal, as her constant output and bottomless gas tank aided in keeping Bueno Silva from building any real momentum, aiding in her ability to widen the gap between the two down the stretch.
This was an outstanding win from Jasudavicius, who is now 7-2 in the UFC and continuing on her upward trajectory in the flyweight division. With four straight victories and a dominant showing here, a date with a Top 10 opponent could be in line for the surging Niagara Top Team representative.

“Hillman” was the superior fighter from start to finish in this one, displaying all the facets of his game as he out-hustled and out-muscled Ofli in all three rounds. Each time the Australian looked to build a little momentum, Naimov was there to counter and re-assert his control, using the full compliment of his skill set to thoroughly outclass his opponent.
After getting upset last time out in Saudi Arabia, this was an outstanding return to the win column for Naimov. He’s now 4-1 in the UFC and entrenched in the “Second 15” in the featherweight division, which means another opportunity to try and work forward could very well be on the horizon for the talented fighter from Tajikistan.
