Prelim Results | UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs Onama

For much of the first round, Elekana was following Christian, unable to corral the debuting Brazilian while eating a series of inside kicks that left him with a welt on his right shin. But late in the frame, the Las Vegas-based light heavyweight connected with a right hand that put the towering Christian on the canvas. From there, Elekana pounced, unloaded, and flattened him out, lacing up the choke and putting him to sleep.

After suffering a loss in his short notice debut, Elekana has now earned consecutive victories, solidifying his standing as solid emerging name to follow in the 205-pound weight class heading into next year.

Lee spent the entirety of the first round working as a human backpack, forcing Cuamba to carry his weight and be mindful of his defenses. “Twilight” found success in the second, landing the better of the strikes throughout while mixing in some grappling of his own before weathering the initial rush from Lee at the start of the third and control the rest of the frae with his wrestling.

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Cuamba, who registered his second consecutive victory while simultaneously stopping Lee’s five-fight winning streak. This was a tough, gutsy performance from the 26-year-old, who advanced to 10-3 with the win.

The recent Dana White’s Contender Series graduate was expected to throw power shots throughout, but instead, Johnson showed some of his grappling abilities, taking Dumas to the canvas multiple times over in the opening round. Early in the second, Dumas threw a series of rolling kick attempts that were unique, but ineffective, and left him in a prime position for Johnson to attack a front headlock, adjusting to a no-arm guillotine choke that drew out the tap.

Barely two months after earning his contract, Johnson earned his first UFC victory, advancing to 7-0 while maintaining his 100-percent finishing rate. The 26-year-old is still green, but the upside is obvious and it will be interesting to watch him develop and grow over the coming years.

Dumont was the more active and effective striker throughout, but was taken down, controlled, and put in bad position by the Nova Uniao product. The third was the only clear round, with Dumont keeping things upright and outlanding the fading Vieira.

When the scorecards were collected and totalled, it was Dumont that landed on the favorable side of the split 29-28 scores, securing the second and third on two of the three scorecards. Now sporting the second longest winning streak among all female fighters on the roster, Dumont is likely to be in the mix for a championship opportunity next year having secured her sixth straight victory and besting the perennial contender Vieira on Saturday.

The Romanian-born strawweight was the quicker, more effective striker throughout, touching up Ruiz and mixing in shots to the body that stung while doing well to shut down any attempts to grapple by her opponent. Though Ruiz gets marks for her toughness and resolve, Ardelean was clearly the superior of the two on Saturday, maintaining her advantage from start to finish to claim another win.

Just like the previous fight, the verdict was never in question when the scorecards were collected and totalled. After opening with a pair of setbacks, Ardelean has now earned consecutive victories to climb to 10-8 overall while handing Ruiz her fourth straight setback inside the Octagon.

While his nickname is “The Korean Tyson,” Ko once again used his wrestling and grinding top control to pulverize Rowe, who was taken down with relative ease and never afforded a chance to get back to his feet in each of the first two rounds. It was more of the same in the third, with Ko once again putting Rowe on his back in the center of the Octagon, roughing him up for the majority of the round and locking up another victory.

It was a clean sweep of the scorecards for the 32-year-old Ko, who advanced to 13-2 with six straight victories by grinding out Rowe. The South Korean is going to be a handful for anyone that cannot shut down his wrestling and collected another tick in the win column for the graduates from Season 8 of Dana White’s Contender Series.

After a competitive first, Alencar connected with a clean right hand in the second that stopped Carnelossi from advancing and allowed her to get into her offensive grappling, eventually working to the back and attacking a deep rear naked choke. Carnelossi was saved by the horn in the second, but couldn’t escape Alencar’s clutches in the third, getting taken down off a kick before the former IBJJF world champion once again worked into position to secure the choke, this time with plenty of time to draw out the tap.

That’s now consecutive wins for Alencar, who moved to 3-1 in the UFC and 7-1-1 overall in her MMA career. This was her best performance to date and the kind of outing that the 35-year-old Brazilian needed to potentially earn a step up in competition next time out.
