Full UFC 263 Gala Card
We can expect a night of twists and turns in Arizona on Saturday, when the UFC 263 gala is presented at the Gila River Arena.
Isarel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori face off for the UFC middleweight title in the main bout. This is a rematch that takes place three years after the first fight between the two men.
Adesanya (20-1) then won by split decision to bring his record to 13-0.
In the co-final of the evening, Deiveson Figueiredo finds Brandon Moreno for a revenge which is also eagerly awaited by fans of mixed martial arts. After an epic draw between the two men last December, the Brazilian’s flyweight belt will again be at stake.
In addition, some veterans who no longer need a presentation will be in action during this evening. On the one hand, the returning Nate Diaz faces Leon Edwards, number 3 in the welterweight category.
The 43-year-old Demian Maia has seen the years catch up with him as he lost by unanimous decision to Belal Muhammad.
Maia tried to make her science speak with several projections on the ground during the first assault, but Muhammad’s defense was impeccable. Visibly exhausted for the rest of the confrontation, Maia lacked conviction in the last two rounds and Muhammad did what was necessary to afford the judges’ favor (30-27 and 29-28 x 2).
The main card was thrown by Paul Craig who arguably broke the left arm of rival Jamahal Hill to win a knockout. from the first round. He grabbed his rival’s left arm and his key released Hill’s arm, who was still trying to continue.
Craig struck his opponent until the official intervened late.
Terrance McKinney had a sensational entry into the UFC. He recorded a K.-O. after seven seconds in his fight in front of Matt Frevola.
He is thus ranked fourth in UFC history for the knockout. the fastest. The celebrations were short, however, as he appeared to injure a knee during the celebrations.
