Jose Aldo vs Pedro Munhoz

Two of the best Brazilian fighters, Jose Aldo and Pedro Munhoz went right after each other when the bell rang. Munhoz continued to pressurize his opponent with leg kicks, whereas Aldo tried to put damage with his hands. Hence, the striking contest clearly evoked profitable moments for both sides. While Munhoz threw everything with power and bad intentions, Jose Aldo’s head movement appeared as a good response.

However, Pedro Munhoz’s aggressive approach saw no change in round two. He almost ran across the cage to hurt Jose Aldo, but couldn’t benefit much. Jose Aldo’s lighting speed complimented his abilities, which helped him plant a few good shots on Munhoz. Nevertheless, the end of round two left both men with their potential chances of winning.

Besides, Aldo’s veteran experience came to the display as he pounced on Munhoz in the final round. Starting from kicks, jabs to clean shots, the firmer 145 lbs used it all against his fellow Brazilian rival. After tasting blood, Aldo became even more ferocious with his action. He poleaxed Munhoz throughout the end of round three and comfortably claimed the win.

Result:- Jose Aldo defeats Pedro Munhoz via unanimous decision

Michael Chiesa vs Vicente Luque

The fight held sheer importance in the welterweight division as Luque and Chiesa are two of the mid-tier elites of the roster, constantly trying to slide into the top-tier slot. That said, the recent collision validated both men’s spots as we could see them go violent against each other.

Surprisingly, Luque began the first round by frequently shifting his stance from orthodox to southpaw. However, the drama was not over yet. While Michael Chiesa almost submitted his rival in a rear-naked choke, the tables turned in a shock. Despite Chiesa’s constant attempts, Vicente Luque managed to get rid of that hold. Instead, he waited for his moment, and as Chiesa was trying to get back to the feet, Luque got hold of his neck.

Unlike Michael Chiesa, Luque didn’t offer any mistake and planted a perfect choke on his rival to claim the win. No wonder the 29-year-old has leaped closer towards a title shot and has already garnered welterweight champion Kamaru Usman’s attention.

Result:- Vicente Luque beats Michael Chiesa via submission in round 1.

Tecia Torres vs Angela Hill

The sole women’s bout in the UFC main-card rightly lived up to the hype. The intriguing re-match between Angela Hill and Tecia Torres brought the best out of both the female fighters in the intriguing re-match
. However, Hill apparently had the favor of landing more shots in the first round. Although Torres showcased her combinations by the end, they didn’t cause much trouble to Angela Hill. It was more of a striking contest in the maiden round, and both women seemed to relish their time in the cage.

Meanwhile, Torres began gaining momentum in round two until Angela Hill scored a massive takedown. ‘The Tiny Tornado’ could get rid of that hold but that didn’t stop Hill from coming with all the aggression. Angela Hill mounted on her opponent and looked eager to go for a submission when the second round ended, leaving the door open to an intense third round.
