UFC 293 results: Sean Strickland shocks Israel Adesanya, the world with all-time title upset

This is not a drill. Sean Strickland put forth a near-perfect performance to win the UFC middleweight title vs. Israel Adesanya.

This is not a drill, but it is history.

[autotag]Sean Strickland[/autotag] is the UFC middleweight champion.

In all-time shocking fashion, Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) put on a career performance when he needed it most when he defeated Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) at UFC 293.

The middleweight title fight was the main event of UFC 293, which took place Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews/ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+.

Strickland puzzled Adesanya for five rounds, dropping and nearly finishing the now-former titleholder with a shocking overhand right in Round 1. While Adesanya took a tactical approach in Round 2, Strickland put forth three consistent sessions in the final three rounds. Strickland’s jabs and hooks worked throughout the showing.

When the two fighters opened and traded, Strickland almost always did noticeable damage to Adesanya. Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick stayed on his fighter between rounds, encouraging Strickland to go for the finish rather than point-fight.

The advice was well-received, as Strickland pushed the pace for 25 minutes. In Round 5, a fired-up Strickland pursued Adesanya until the final bell before letting out a burst of excitement.

The loss marks the second time Adesanya has dropped the UFC middleweight title. The first was vs. Alex Pereira, a defeat Adesanya later avenged. Strickland extends his winning streak to three with the victory.

UFC 293 results: Alexander Volkov taps Tai Tuivasa with sneaky Ezekiel choke

Alexander Volkov wants one last run at UFC gold, and his finish over Tai Tuivasa at UFC 293 takes him one step closer.

[autotag]Alexander Volkov[/autotag] is hunting for UFC gold, and his statement win over Tai Tuivasa at UFC 293 keeps his momentum going toward the top of the heavyweight division.

In the co-main event of UFC 293 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Volkov (37-10 MMA, 11-4 UFC) faced Tai Tuivasa (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in what proved to be a hard-hitting affair until the fight hit the ground. Volkov was able to put his slick grappling skills to use and tap Tuivasa with an Ezekiel choke at 4:37 of Round 2.

Tuivasa looked to get the action started quickly with a few hard leg kicks, but Volkov responded in kind as he utilized his range advantage. Successfully timing Tuivasa’s forward charges, Volkov was able to land sharp punches to bloody his opponent’s nose midway through Round 1. Both fighters mixed in attacks to the body during exchanges. In the closing sequence of the first round, Volkov teed off on Tuivasa as he covered up against the cage.

Tuivasa repeatedly attacked the lead leg of Volkov early in Round 2, causing the taller, longer fighter to adjust. Volkov caught Tuivasa with a clean punch that knocked him off balance, and followed to the ground for a submission attempt. Although he couldn’t secure the position and the fight returned to the feet, a few moments later Volkov ended up in full mount after catching a Tuivasa kick.

After securing the position, Volkov attempted an arm triangle, but switched to a sneaky Ezekiel choke. Tuivasa did his best to fight off the attempt, but he was trapped and had no choice but to tap.

Volkov extends his winning streak to three, entering UFC 293 with consecutive first-round stoppage wins over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexandr Romanov. During his post-fight interview, Volkov said he hopes his run can take him to the heavyweight title before he decides to call it a career.

While Volkov is a winner of his last three, Tuivasa is the opposite, and was unable to snap his skid. He entered on the heels of stoppages against Ciryl Gane and Sergei Pavlovich.

UFC 293 results: Manel Kape out-battles Felipe Dos Santos, uses anti-gay slur while insulting City Kickboxing

Daniel Cormier (for the second time at UFC 293) ended an in-cage interview short after an anti-gay slur was uttered.

[autotag]Manel Kape[/autotag] got the job done Saturday at UFC 293, but it didn’t come easily.

Despite his lack of name recognition, his debutant status, and it being a short-notice fight, [autotag]Felipe Dos Santos[/autotag] (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) wowed many MMA fans and even Kape (19-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) by his performance in a unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) loss.

UFC 293 took place Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The flyweight fight aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews/ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+.

Throughout the course of their fight, Kape was largely in control but Dos Santos had moments, too – with particular striking success in Round 1 and Round 3. But Kape kept on the attack. He was persistent and slowly damaged the face of Dos Santos, a 22-year-old from Brazil. When the dust settled and nearly 15 minutes of striking was behind them, Kape was declared the winner.

After he showed his respect to Dos Santos, Kape turned his attention to the rest of the flyweight division and in particular rival Kai Kara-France, who was his original UFC 293 opponent before a withdrawal. Kape verbally assaulted Kara-France with an expletive-filled rant that also included an anti-gay slur, which was also used earlier in the night by prelim winner Charlie Radtke.

“All these motherf*ckers that are booing, all these motherf*ckers that are No. 2, 3, 4, they not accept to fight me because they are f*cking scared,” Kape said in the cage with Daniel Cormier. “I was supposed to fight Kai Kara. You motherf*cker you are hidden. You show up, you piece of sh*t. You are a piece of sh*t. This is what you are. Hey, hey, listen guys, seriously, listen. I’m going to fight you next.

“I’m going to fight you next and if you refuse again to fight me or pull two weeks out from the fight, I’m going to your city. I’m going to your academy. I’m going to spar you there. I’m going to f*cking spar you there. Hey, hey, listen. No one is going to do anything. Do you know why? All your teammates are a bunch of (slur).”

Kape has now won four fights in a row after a 0-2 promotional start. Dos Santos loses for the first time as a professional.

UFC 293 results: Justin Tafa flattens Austen Lane after another eye poke scare

Justin Tafa got poked in the eye by Austen Lane again, but this time the fight went on to see a devastating first-round knockout at UFC 293.

It was deja vu for [autotag]Justin Tafa[/autotag] early at UFC 293, but this time he was able to continue and showcase his fight-finishing power.

On the main card of UFC 293 Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Tafa (7-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) stepped into the octagon to face NFL veteran Austen Lane (12-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) again, but unlike their first meeting, he would land a devastating punch, leading to a TKO at 1:22 of Round 1.

The pair first faced each other in June, but Tafa was poked in the eye just 29 seconds into the fight and was unable to continue. As a result, the fight was ruled a no contest.

This time, fight started off in a familiar manner from the first meeting, as Lane extended his hands and accidentally poked Tafa. Luckily, the poke wasn’t a bad, and the fight continued after a short pause.

But when the fight resumed, it wouldn’t last much longer.

Tafa pressed forward as Lane attempted to circle and find his own space to land a shot. Lane darted forward while offering a punch, but Tafa loaded up on a big left hand that caught Lane flush on the chin, sending him crashing to the canvas. After a few follow-up punches, referee Jim Perdios jumped in to stop the action, and it was time for Tafa to do his dance.

The result marked three straight knockout victories for Tafa, as he continues to prove a dangerous finisher in the heavyweight division.

On the other side, Lane, a former Jacksonville Jaguar, walks away with a loss in what was officially his UFC debut.

UFC 293 results: Tyson Pedro breaks out sword celebration after bludgeoning knockout of Anton Turkalj

At UFC 293, Tyson Pedro kicked off the main card with a bang: a scintillating knockout of Anton Turkalj and a cold celebration.

[autotag]Tyson Pedro[/autotag] made quick work of [autotag]Anton Turkalj[/autotag] en route to victory Saturday at UFC 293.

In a light heavyweight bout that opened up the main card at Qudos Arena in Sydney, Pedro (10-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) knocked out Turkalj (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) with the stoppage coming at 2:12 of Round 1.

Once he got going, it seemed like Pedro couldn’t miss – particularly with his right hand. A combination knocked Turkalj off balance, but “The Pleasure Man” remained upright. After a few more combinations, a Pedro right hand put Turkalj down. A wicked hammerfist followed and turned Turkalj’s lights out.

With the victory, Pedro bounces back into the win column after a February unanimous decision loss to Modestas Bukauskas. He has now won three of his most recent four. In defeat, Turkalj has now lost three consecutive bouts to start his UFC tenure.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek demonstrates how to take the club back to three different positions to create a backswing that is repeatable and comfortable.

These steps are easy to practice alone and pausing at each spot will help with muscle memory. This will result in a more consistent backswing and accurate delivery to the ball in the downswing.
