MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Think you can figure out which UFC fighter we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.

We’re back for another day of the SB Nation UFC in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re switching to a system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way, you can catch up if you miss a day.

Game instructions are at the bottom if you’re new to the game!

What we need from you

1. Play the game
2. Share your result in the comments and on social media
3. Provide feedback (Google Form or in comments below)

Today’s UFC in-5 game

Sunday’s UFC in-5 game

Saturday’s UFC in-5 game

Friday’s UFC in-5 game

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.

After you correctly guess the player, you can click “Share Results” to share how you did down in the comments and on social media.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Injury?
| BJPenn.com

UFC Edmonton went down last night (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which saw Brandon Moreno defeat Amir Albazi via unanimous decision in the Flyweight main event of the evening (more on that here). In the co-main event, Erin Blanchfield defeated Rose Namajunas — also via unanimous decision (recap here) — to secure her spot behind top women’s 125-pound contender, Manon Fiorot, for the next title shot.

Winner: Brandon Moreno

Who He Should Fight Next: Brandon Royval rematch

Moreno got back in the win column in a big way last night, but a shot at the title won’t be next since he was on a two-fight skid prior to his win. At the moment, division king, Alexandre Pantoja, will be defending his strap against Kai Asakura at UFC 310 next month, so I would like to see Moreno and Royval run it back to see who gets the winner. Royval defeated “The Assassin Baby” via split-decision earlier this year, so let’s go at it one more time to see who will be fighting for the belt in 2025.

Winner: Erin Blanchfield

Who She Should Face Next: Alexa Grasso

After Blanchfield locked down the biggest win of her career over a former champion in Namajunas, “Cold Blooded” called for a fight against another ex-title holder in Grasso. A title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Manon Fiorot is all but booked, so Blanchfield would have to sit idle for a while if she opted to wait for her title shot. In the meantime, I like that she’d prefer to stay busy against Grasso, who lost her title to “Bullet” at UFC 306.

Winner: Brendson Ribeiro

Who He Should Face Next: Ryan Spann

Ribeiro snapped his two-fight win streak and picked up the first win of his UFC career by narrowly defeating Caio Machado via split-decision. Up next for “The Gorilla,” a fight against Spann makes sense because “Superman” also just got back in the win column, snapping his three-fight skid by defeating Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 307 via submission.

Winner: Jasmine Jasudavicius

Who She Should Face Next: Winner of Karine Silva vs. Viviane Araújo

Jasudavicius secured her third straight win with an impressive submission win over Ariane Da Silva. She will get closer to the Top 10 — she is currently No. 14 — but will likely need one more win to get there. I would like to see her take on the winner of the upcoming showdown between Silva (No. 11) and Viviane Araujo (No. 9), who are set to throw down on Nov. 16 at UFC 309 in New York City.

Winner: Dustin Stoltzfus

Who He Should Face Next: Abusupiyan Magomedov

Stoltzfus secured a huge win by absolutely obliterating Marc-André Barriault via devastating knockout in the very first round (see it here). It’s a good bounce back win for him after he was previously knocked out himself by Brunno Ferreira. Stoltzfus has been rather inconsistent when it comes to picking up wins, as he is just 3-5 in his UFC career. He will look to keep his current momentum going in his next outing, and I’d like that to be against Magomedov, who is coming off a win off the aforementioned Brunno Ferreira at UFC 308.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Youssef Zalal is definitely a name to look out for moving forward after he racked up a third straight finish courtesy of a submission during the UFC Edmonton preliminary card.

The first round between Zalal and Welsh standout Jack Shore was close, with the latter having the better quality action. The Moroccan, however, had more control time that prevented Shore from mounting additional attacks.

Things quickly came to an end early in the second round when Zalal landed a perfectly timed knee that dropped Shore. “The Moroccan Devil| followed his stricken opponent to the mat and delivered some strong ground-and-pound before locking up an arm-triangle choke that scored the tap.

Youssef Zalal Earns Third Straight Submission With Victory Over Jack Shore At UFC Edmonton

The result marked Zalal’s third straight submission, all coming this year, after he defeated Billy Quarantillo in March and Jarno Errens in August.

Meanwhile, after starting his career 16-0, former bantamweight Shore has now lost three of his last four Octagon outings.
