Prelim Results | UFC London

Sola dropped Jones in the first half of the opening round with a spinning attack that landed flush, only for the Welshman to gather himself quickly and have quality success of his own in the back half of the round. From there, the lightweights stood in the pocket and traded, with Jones busting up Sola and the Frenchman showing his mettle by staying with him every step of the way.

After 15 hard-fought minutes, the judges were called upon to render a verdict, and all three saw it the same way, awarding Jones the victory in what is easily the clubhouse leader in the Fight of the Night race. In addition to handing Sola the first loss of his career, that’s now three straight wins for Jones since returning to the UFC and seven consecutive wins overall for “The Dragon,” who continued to burnish his reputation as a must-see, all-action attraction in the lightweight division.

This was a classic clash between a precise and polished veteran in Wood and the more explosive, but less diverse Keita, with the former landing the more varied shots at a higher clip while the latter connected with the better individual blows. With the fight as tight as can be, Wood was the more active and effective of the two in the third, chopping at Keita’s lead leg with heavy low kicks and forcing missing from “Black Panther” more frequently than he was able to land.

When the scorecards were collected and the tens and nines were totalled, it was Wood that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict, earning his fourth straight win and sixth consecutive UFC victory when fighting on British soil. The 32-year-old Londoner isn’t flashy, but he’s been in excellent form since moving to featherweight and continued his methodical march towards the rankings by turning aside Keita on Saturday.

This was a low-output effort from Pinto, who has thus far used the first round to make reads and download information before finishing each of his first two fights in the second frame. But in London, the Contender Series alum struggled to get out of first gear, landing the better shots and clearly controlling the action against his late replacement opponent Felipe Franco.

Pinto swept the scorecards and pushed his winning streak to an even dozen to begin his career with the victory. He has clear upside and continued to move forward with another positive result, but it will be interesting to see who he gets paired off with next and how things play out there after an effort that didn’t quite live up to expectations on Saturday.

The recent DWCS grad showed his rawness in his promotional debut, getting stuck in clinch entanglements and getting dragged to the canvas in the third as he fatigued. But when they were exchanging, Kondratavičius was clearly the more effective of the two, cutting Trocoli over each eye with elbows and piling up damage, especially in the second round.

The judges were called upon to render a verdict, but the outcome was never in question. Kondratavičius earned a clean sweep of the scorecards and moved to 9-1 overall with the win, losing his 100-percent finishing rate, but navigating an important learning experience while collecting a win in his UFC debut.

Sutherland pressed the action straight out of the gate, landing low kicks and taking Peričić to the canvas twice. But each time, “The Balkan Bear” was able to pop back to his feet quickly and once he landed a shot that stung Sutherland, he attacked. Knees in the clinch sent him to the canvas, and from there, Pericic relentlessly pounded out the finish.

That’s now two starts and two first-round finishes for the City Kickboxing heavyweight, who moved to 6-1 overall with the win. Peričić moves well for a man of his size and clearly has power, which makes him an interesting new addition to the division to track going forward.

The Fortis MMA man, who earned his place on the roster with a Contender Series win over Cage Warriors standout George Hardwick in 2023, was the more effective of the two on the feet throughout, delivering more volume and landing the more impactful blows. While the Scouser had some positive moments of his own, Al-Selwady did well to manage the distance, avoid mistakes, and remain in control through to the final horn.

This was a solid initial UFC victory for the 30-year-old, who dropped a decision to Loik Radzhabov in his debut, which snapped a five-fight winning streak. The key for Al-Selwady is going to be remaining active and building on this effort soon, as momentum is difficult to come by in the lightweight ranks.

After a first round where both athletes worked to find their range and failed to land much of real substance, Dyer came out in the second and put it on Oliveira. With the Brazilian already stung, Dyer connected with a high kick and right hand down the pipe that added to Oliveira’s troubles, and the Great Britain Top Team rep pounced from there, swarming to put away Oliveira as she wilted along the fence.

Just a brilliant second-round finish for the recent Dana White’s Contender Series grad and London native. The 24-year-old “Nightmare” was a viral sensation on her way to the Octagon and kicked things off in style on Saturday.
