UFC February Recap

UFC 247: Jones vs Reyes

• Derrick Lewis def. Ilir Latifi by UD.

• Dan Ige def. Mirsad Bektic by SD in very close fight.

• Justin Tafa def. Juan Adams by TKO.

• Valentina Shevchenko def. Katlyn Chookagian by TKO in very dominant way. After this win, Shevchenko now defended her belt for the 3rd time.

• In one very close fight Jon Jones get SD win against Dominick Reyes. A lot of voices can be heared that this was robery and Reyes should be the one with belt around waist. First two rounds is his, 4th and 5th are Jones rounds. That means the 3rd round in which Reyes clearly didn't have so much gas in a tank and he didn't land so much punches like in first two rounds, while Jones started going forward using the fact that in Texas is still active old MMA rules. No matter what rules are, 3rd was very close and it could go either way. If people think this fight was robery remember fights like Jones vs Gustafsson 1, GSP vs Hendricks or Lawler vs Condit.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Anderson vs Blachowicz 2

• Merab Dvalishvili ( UD win ) and John Dodson ( TKO win against prospect Nathaniel Wood ) won their fights on prelims.

• Lando Vannata,Ray Borg and Montana De La Rosa won their fights by UD.

• Diego Sanchez def. Michel Pereira by DQ ( illegal knee ). In fight where Pereira was better and probably won this fight by decision he lands illegal knee, Sanchez is saying he can't continue and fight is over.

• In main event and possibly title eliminator fight, Jan Blachowicz KOed Anderson and revenge his UD loss. His next opponent should be Jon Jones, current champion.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Felder vs Hooker

• Dan Hooker def. Paul Felder in very close fight by SD.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Benavidez vs Figueiredo

• Luis Pena and Marcin Tybura won their fights by UD.

• Magomed Ankalaev def. Ion Cutelaba by TKO. Very strange finish of fight, Cutelaba faking that he is hurt, judge Kevin Mcdonald stop the fight and there goes chaos if judge made mistake or not. Real question is why fighter wanna fake he is hurt so bad to give judge reason to stop the fight.

• Two potential featherweight challengers fought on same card and as expected both of them won their fights. Megan Anderson and Felicia Spencer finished their opponents and we will see who will be Amanda Nunes opponent.

• In main event, that was supposed to be flyweight title fight, Deiveson Figueiredo ( missed the weight by 2.5 pounds ) defeat Joseph Benavidez ( made weight and was eligible to win belt ) and left flyweight division without a champ. We will see what are next moves for UFC about crowning a champion in 125 pound division.
