Pantoja rocks Asakura early!
Huge left hand has Asakura in trouble after a big knee and they go to the floor. They are both still dry, Pantoja can use his black belt here.

Shavkat Rakhmonov hands Ian Machado Garry his first defeat against UD
All three judges, and probably every viewer around the world, have it 48-47, rounds 1, 2 and 4 for the Kazakh fighter. What a performance from both gentlemen.
[Link]
Sun 8 – 00:39Donagh Corby
Let's go to the scorecards
The fifth was definitely a Garry round, he almost had the submission and dominated on his back. But after five it should be 3-2 for Rakhmonov.
[Link]
Sun 8 – 00:31Donagh Corby
Another big round for Rakhmonov
Huge fourth down as he lands not one but two elusive takedowns. Can't do much with it, but he keeps winning rounds. It must be 3-1 now.

Ian Machado Garry needs to change his pants
That's right, his shorts were ripped during an exchange against the cage and the fourth round lasts a minute before he changes his shorts.
[Link]
Sun 8 – 00:25Donagh Corby
Ian Machado Garry wins the third round
Much better from Garry there, who won the striking exchanges and aimed the leg kicks at Rakhmonov. Marc Goddard eventually decides to break up the cage-clinching, and while Rakhmonov lands big, it's Garry who feels more comfortable in the center of the octagon.

Sun 8 – 00:19Donagh Corby
Shavkat Rakhmonov is in the lead after two hours
Garry is very involved in this fight and he has three rounds left, but so far it has all been Rakhmonov.

Sun 8 – 00:14Donagh Corby
Shavkat Rakhmonov rocks Ian Machado Garry at the end of the first
After a boring opening stanza that all played out against the fence, Rakhmonov wins himself the round with a big shot over the top, just the second significant hit to land.

Sun 8 – 00:04Donagh Corby
Shavkat Rakhmonov takes the walk

Ciryl Gane defeated Alexander Volkov via Split Decision
That will be a very controversial decision. He immediately leaves the octagon, seemingly surprised that he won at all. Now he's coming back to talk to Joe Rogan.
[Link]
Sat 7 – 11:46 PMDonagh Corby
Difficult performance for Ciryl Gane
Volkov certainly did enough in the third to warrant the win, the Frenchman getting off with virtually no foul. Rounds 1 and 3 for Volkov as far as I'm concerned, round 2 for Gane.
[Link]
Sat 7 – 11:35pm Donagh Corby
A lot of early heavyweight wrestling
Volkov, as expected, goes for a takedown. Gane gets up and, not quite as expected, lands one of his own.

Ciryl Gane is ready

Bryce Mitchell sleeps Kron Gracie in round three
Seemingly out of nowhere, Bryce Mitchell lands a monster elbow and that's all she wrote in Las Vegas! Thug Nasty turns a pulled guard into a power slam and then lands two huge elbows. What a finish!

Doo Ho Choi TKO's Nate Landwehr in round three
The finish actually comes because Landwehr cannot defend himself in the crucifix position. Doo Ho Choi gets a big win that could mean the end of Nate 'The Train' on pay-per-view.

Movsar Evloev defeated Aljamain Sterling by UD
29-28 across the board, that seems incredibly harsh for Sterling! Fans online are very unhappy!

Sat 7 – 8:57 PM Donagh Corby
Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev give a wrestling masterclass here
For me, a big fan of MMA and these types of fights, this is a showcase of class. But I understand why they would rather see Nate Landwehr fight for the main card when it comes to casual entertainment.

Joshua Van defeats Cody Durden by UD
29-28 seems far enough to me, the scorecard 30-26 is wild, 30-27 also understandable. From now on in the rankings at flyweight!

Joshua Van will likely clinch a spot in the rankings there as he does plenty in the second and third rounds.
