Main Card Results | UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Duncan

The Brazilian veteran was the sharper, more effective of the two from the outset, sniping at Duncan throughout the first round, getting into a rhythm. Early in the second, Moicano sat the the Scotsman down before swarming and dragging the fight to the ground. From there, it was only a matter of time before Moicano took the back and found the next, squeezing out the tap.

Just a blistering performance from the tenured lightweight and Top 15 mainstay. After suffering a pair of setbacks last year, this was a punishing bounce-back performance for the fired up Moicano.

The recent title challenger salted away the first two rounds with a mix of heavy strikes and timely takedowns, dragging Ricci to the canvas multiple times, grinding time off the clock while chipping away from top position. Ricci capitalized on Jandiroba tiring in the third, turning in her most effective frame of the fight, but it was a case of too little, too late.

All three judges scored the fight for Jandiroba, who made an immediate return to the win column after coming up short in her bid to claim the vacant strawweight title last October. That’s now six wins in seven starts for “Carcara,” who showed she’s still amongst the division’s elite with a win in Saturday’s co-main event.

Ribeiro landed a couple stiff shots straight out of the gate and had Yahkyaev looking to wrestle early and forced him to defend against a kimura early in the first grappling entanglement. But once he settled in and started to control Ribeiro, it was all Yakhyaev from there, patiently chipping away with short shots before working to the back, lacing up the choke, and securing the finish.

Now 9-0 overall and quickly 2-0 in the UFC, Yakhyaev is without question one of the top prospects on the roster and a rapidly ascending threat in the light heavyweight ranks. “The Hunter” is going to be heard from in this division sooner rather than later.

Ewing was the more effective of the two the entire way through, piling up the punishment more and more as the fight progressed. After being instructed to “go to the bakery” in the corner between rounds, that’s precisely what Ewing did, settling Estevam with a left hand to the liver early in the third.

That’s now consecutive impressive showings from the California-based bantamweight, who bested Malcolm Wellmaker at Madison Square Garden in his short notice debut last November. Ewing has looked technical and clean through each of his first two starts and seems poised to make some noise in the 135-pound weight class.

The recent Dana White’s Contender Series grad came out looking to scrap and Zecchnini was ready to oblige, meeting him in the pocket and trading the whole way through. Late in the round, McMillen started gathering momentum, and as Zecchini started to wilt, “Gun” continued to unload until referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the fight.

Now 10-0 with nine stoppages, McMillen showed he’s going to be an all-action addition to the featherweight division going forward. The Montana native is surrounded by a quality team and should get every opportunity to build momentum as a potential star-in-the-making.

When the scorecards were collected and totaled, it was Delano that came out ahead. This was a quality debut effort for the recent Dana White’s Contender Series grad, who advanced to 17-3 with the win.
