UFC March Recap

UFC 248: Adesanya vs Romero

• Sean O'Malley def. Jose Alberto Quinonez by TKO.

• Alex 'Cowboy' Oliveira def. Max Griffin by SD and this win probably save his place in UFC.

• Neil Magny def. Li Jingliang by UD. Dominant performance by Magny.

• Beneil Darius KOed Drakkar Klose.

• In one of the most entertaining and interesting fight in women's MMA history Zhang Weili defended her belt by SD win against former champion and of the best strawweight fighter on world, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Fight was very close and it could go either way, because what this two athletes show in Octagon was phenomenal and both of them earn victory.

• After action packed co-main event, everyone believe we will see exciting fight in main event and fight for middleweight belt between Israel Adesanya ( first title defence ) and Yoel Romero. Adesanya won by UD in one very non action fight, where Adesanya didn't want to attack Yoel, while Yoel waited for counter strike that will KOed Adesanya. Adesanya as a champion wanted to save his belt and didn't risk too much while Yoel ( 42 years old already ) in maybe his last chance for title didn't try to even attack and finish fight and become a champ.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Lee vs Oliveira

• Bea Malecki,Maryna Moroz and Amanda Ribas ( against Randa Markos ) won their fights by UD.

• Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos ( against Alexey Kunchenko ) and Brandon Moreno ( against Jussier Formiga ) won their fights by UD.

• Nikita Krylov def. Johnny Walker by UD.

• Renato Moicano def. Damir Hadzovic by SUB. Moicano move up from featherweight go well for him while Hadzovic suffer his second loss in a row.

• Gilbert Burns def. Demian Maia by TKO and extend his streak to 5 wins. Burns is now one or two fights away from title shot.

• In main event Charles Oliveira extend his win streak to 7 ( all finishes ) by submitting Kevin Lee ( missed weight by 2.5 pounds ). It will be interesting to see when is UFC ready to give top ranked opponent to Oliveira so he can have a chance for title shot.
