The goal of the game is to guess the correct random UFC fighter player with the help of up to five clues. We’ll mix in BOTH ACTIVE AND RETIRED FIGHTERS. It won’t be easy to figure it out in one or two guesses, but some of you might be able to nail it. It will be a mix of well-known players and some “that guys” that we haven’t thought of in some time. The game will appear in slot #3 of the MMA Fighting layout each morning, with occasional movement later in the day.

Don’t mess with the flyweights.

The lightest men’s division in the UFC stole the spotlight at UFC Vegas 98 on Saturday, with headliners Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira, and prelim competitors Ramazan Temirov and Clayton Carpenter all earning an extra $ 50,000 for some incredible work inside the octagon.

Royval and Taira were justly given the Fight of the Night award following a five-round performance that wowed their fellow fighters and fans. It was Royval who emerged victorious via a close split decision, but both men are likely to be mentioned for Fight of the Year when 2024 comes to a close.

Performance of the Night bonuses went to Temirov and Carpenter.

Temirov made the most of his UFC debut, needing less than three minutes to show off his precision striking and finish off CJ Vergara. It was the 10th straight win for Temirov, who immediately positions himself as a player in the flyweight division.

Carpenter also kept a streak going as he improved his pro record to 8-0 with a two-round drubbing of Lucas Rocha. The 28-year-old defused Rocha’s offense with powerful wrestling before finishing him with a rear-naked choke. This is Carpenter’s first Performance of the Night bonus.

Artur Beterbiev is the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world, though some might disagree with the “undisputed” tag.

The reigning WBO, IBF, and WBC champion at 175 pounds claimed the WBA title to complete his collection, defeating Dmitry Bivol by majority decision after 12 tense rounds of action. For much of the contest, Beterbiev pressed the action, but Bivol expertly countered and it wasn’t always clear who was winning the exchanges.

In the end, one judge saw the contest as a tie, while two gave the advantage to Beterbiev.

Suffice to say, the combat sports community had something to say about the result, with some disagreeing with the judges’ verdict, some being unsatisfied with the action, and others congratulating Beterbiev for his new four-belt status.

Controversial boxing star Ryan Garcia simply wrote, “Wow robbery if you ask me.”

Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira delivered the goods in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Vegas 98 event at the APEX, and while Taira proved he belongs at the top of the flyweight division, it was the wily veteran who got his hand raised at the end of the night.

Following the latest UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Royval’s split decision win over Taira in the incredible headliner, the one scorecard for Taira, what we learned about both fighters, and where both go following the five-round classic.

This is the UFC Vegas 98 live blog for Brandon Royval vs. Tatsuro Taira, the flyweight main event this Saturday in Las Vegas.

Royval recently challenged 125-pound champion Alexandre Pantoja for the belt last December. Royval fell short in his bid for flyweight gold, losing a unanimous decision, but he rebounded earlier this year with a split decision win over Brandon Moreno at UFC Mexico. That win moved Royval to No. 1 in the UFC’s flyweight rankings, keeping him in the title conversation, and a win over the surging prospect could get him another crack at gold.

One of the brightest prospects in all of MMA, Taira is only 24 years old and already among the best flyweights in the world. 6-0 since joining the UFC in 2022, Taira most recently defeated former title challenger Alex Perez back in June and now hopes to cement his own title shot with a win over another former title challenger.

Conor McGregor made it a red panty night for both fighters competing in the BKFC Spain main event

Franco Tenaglia capped off the bare-knuckle promotion’s first ever event in Spain by capturing the lightweight title in an absolute war with Tony Soto across five rounds but it was the Irish superstar who blessed both men afterwards.

“What we’re going to do for these two gentlemen as well as a bonus is double their purse,” McGregor announced after the fight. “They’re getting double pay. That’s damn straight. Well done gentlemen, you are getting double pay and bonuses. Thank you for your service.”

The massive gesture from BKFC’s newest co-owner came after Tenaglia and Soto battled it out in one of the craziest fights in the history of the promotion.

Defense went flying out of the ring as Tenaglia and Soto just constantly stepped into the pocket and blasted each other with huge combinations. Soto actually dropped Tenaglia badly in the second round with a brutal body shot and it appeared the American fighter might get a stoppage.

Instead, Tenaglia survived the round and then dished out even more punishment of his own as the fight continued. When the fight was over, Tenaglia’s face was busted up and swollen and the same could be said for Soto as the crowd in Marbella gave them a standing ovation.

In the end, the judges scored the fight twice for Tenaglia 47-45 with the third official giving it a 46-46. That was still enough for Tenaglia to get the nod by majority decision as he becomes the new BKFC lightweight champion and he also goes home with a lot more money than he expected.

“I’ve been waiting for this 10 years,” Tenaglia said after his win. “I used to fight in warehouses in the middle of nowhere but look at me now. I’m a world champion.”

In the co-main event, former boxing champion Austin Trout continued his dominant run since joining the BKFC roster as he successfully defended his welterweight title with a shutout performance over Rico Franco.

Trout scored a pair of knockdowns but just couldn’t quite put Franco away as the challenger just kept coming after him despite taking far more damage during the fight. All three judges scored the fight 50-43 in lopsided fashion as Trout moved to 3-0 in BKFC with Saturday serving as his first title defense.

In the third title fight on the card, Dave Mundell continued to run roughshod over the competition as he demolished Danny Christie with a devastating punch in the second round to end his night. Mundell nearly stopped the fight in the first round after he put Christie down early and never allowed him a second to gain any kind of momentum.

The final shot saw Christie crash to the canvas and despite his best effort to get back to his feet, the referee saw enough to stop the contest at :55 seconds into the second round.

Here are the full results for BKFC Spain:

Franco Tenaglia def. Tony Soto via majority decision (46-46, 47-45, 47-45)

Ben Whittaker left the arena in a wheelchair after suffering a leg injury when he fell out of the ring along with opponent Liam Cameron during a wild exchange on the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev undercard on Saturday.

The incident happened as Cameron and Whittaker were backing up towards the ropes at the end of the round. As the fighters hit the ropes, they both toppled over in a dramatic scene as the crowd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia jumped to their feet.

The fighters crashed on the side of the ring after spilling over the ropes but while both athletes remained down momentarily, it was clear that Whittaker got the worst of it. As he got back to his feet, Whittaker was favoring his leg as he got back into the ring to receive medical attention.

It wasn’t long before Whittaker had his shoe removed with his trainers checking his leg and the fight was stopped when it was clear that the highly touted British prospect would not be able to continue.

With the fight stopped due to injury, the scorecards were gathered up to provide a decision but even that ended in some controversy.

The final scores were 58-57 for Whittaker, 58-57 for Cameron and 58-58 with the fight being declared a split draw.

A dejected Cameron left the ring after believing he did enough early in the fight to deserve the win with the broadcast team marveling over his performance while admitting that Whittaker was having a tough night at the office.

In the end none of that matters with the fight scored a split draw and Whittaker requiring medical attention after falling out of the ring.

It seems like these two are headed for a rematch in the future once Whittaker is healthy enough to compete again.
