MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Stevie Ray hit a “Scottish Twister” to cap off his career in the main event of PFL Europe 3 on Saturday night in Glasgow, Scotland.

Ray entered the cage on a three-fight losing skid, losing to Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Natan Schulte and Clay Collard in previous PFL seasons, to headline the show in his home country with his retirement fight against Lewis Long.

Ray once again displayed slick jiu-jitsu to lock up a Twister off his back, forcing Long to quit with 36 seconds left in the clock in the opening round.

Watch the finish below.

Ray, who had already finished ex-UFC and WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis with the same move back in 2022, hangs up his gloves with a MMA record of 26-13. “Braveheart” went 7-4 in the UFC and 3-4 under the PFL banner, defeating the likes of Michael Johnson, Joe Lauzon and Ross Pearson during his UFC run.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

This is the UFC Paris live blog for Renato Moicano vs. Benoit Saint Denis, the lightweight main event this Saturday in Paris.

A former top-15 featherweight, Moicano moved up to the 155-pound division in 2020 following back-to-back losses and rejuvenated his career. 5-2 since making the jump up, Moicano is currently on a three-fight win streak over some of the top names in the division. Perhaps more importantly though, embracing his “Money Moicano” personality has garnered a whole new swath of fans for the Brazilian fighter as he looks to continue building his resume.

Since making his UFC debut in 2021, Saint Denis has been must see television every time out. Earning four bonuses in just seven fights, including two Fight of the Nights, Saint Denis’s high-action style earned him a big opportunity his last time out against Dustin Poirier. Unfortunately for “BSD,” Poirier proved to be too much too soon, and now the French fighter hopes to rebuild with a win on home soil over a fan favorite.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Fares Ziam got his first finish in the UFC, and it came in absolutely brutal fashion.

On Saturday, Ziam faced veteran UFC lightweight Matt Frevola in the opening main card bout of UFC Paris, and after 13 minutes of fighting, he landed one of the most devastating knees you’ll ever see.

For the first two rounds, Ziam got the better of Frevola, showing superior striking and improved grappling to control most of the action. Then in the third round, Ziam put a stamp on things when in a clinch, he framed Frevola’s head with a forearm and landed a monstrous knee that immediately flattened “The Steamrolla.”

The win is Ziam’s fourth in a row. The French fighter joined the UFC in 2019 where he has amassed a 6-2 record with notable wins over Jamie Mullarkey and Claudio Puelles. After the bout, Ziam called for a shot against a ranked opponent.

Check out the incredible highlight below.
