Main Card Results | UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy

The veteran was getting the better of the striking exchanges with the Brazilian throughout the first and second, but also flashed continually improving grappling as well, taking Pinheiro down in the first and controlling the clinch in the second. In the back half of the round, Pinheiro dropped her head as the two were in the center of the cage, and Hill wasted no time clamping onto the neck and sitting into the guillotine choke.

When she floated over into mount, Pinheiro was quick to tap.

That’s the first submission win of Hill’s career and just the third stoppage in a dozen UFC victories. The 39-year-old should vault into the Top 10 with the win and continues to be a perennial tough out in the 115-pound weight class. | Official Scorecards

The bantamweights were each searching for big shots from the outset, with Yanez flashing his speed and precision while Salvador offered wider swings and more unconventional attacks. A clean combination put the Brazilian on the canvas and from there, the DWCS grad swarmed and pounded out the finish.

After suffering a pair of losses last year, the 30-year-old Yanez once again has things moving in the right direction, earning his sixth UFC victory in eight starts and third first-round finish. | Official Scorecards

This fight was contested almost exclusively in the clinch, where the taller, stronger Gorimbo repeatedly won the battles on the fence. When Brahimaj tried to execute trips and takedowns, he couldn’t get the MMA Masters representative to the ground, landing on bottom a couple times himself.

It was a grinding, low output affair, but every victory counts, and after dropping his promotional debut, the native of Zimbabwe has now posted a trio of victories inside the Octagon to continue pushing forward in the welterweight ranks. | Official Scorecards

The welterweights met in the center and traded from the outset, with Harris opting to test himself with the powerful puncher, and he paid the price. As the two launched hammers at one another, Williams swung a right hand behind one of Harris’ misses and found his chin, sending the veteran from Guyana crashing to the canvas.

Williams opened his UFC career with consecutive first-round stoppage wins before earning two of his last three wins on the scorecards. The 30-year-old reminded everyone of his power on Saturday to earn his second straight win and fourth victory in his last five, which should set up a step up in competition next time out. | Official Scorecards

The 32-year-old from Manchester out-classed Edson Barboza from the outset, showing a diverse and varied attack to earn his sixth consecutive victory inside the Octagon. While he wasn’t able to get the ever-durable veteran out of there and had to weather some return fire, Murphy was in control for the vast majority of the contest and stayed on the attack through to the final horn.

Now 6-0-1 in the UFC and brandishing a 14-0-1 record overall, “The Miracle” is a fascinating name to watch in the featherweight division. He’s sure to return to the rankings on the strength of this victory, and should land opposite another opponent with a number next to their name whenever he returns. | Official Scorecards
