MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

This is the UFC Atlantic City live blog for Chris Weidman vs. Bruno Silva, a featured middleweight fight on Saturday in New Jersey.

A former UFC middleweight champion and the man responsible for dethroning the great Anderson Silva, Weidman has had a tough go of things in recent years. After starting his career 13-0, “The All-American” has gone 2-7 in his past nine fights and also suffered a horrific leg break in his bout with Uriah Hall in 2021. At 39 years old, it’s fair to wonder how much, if anything, Weidman has left in the tank.

A UFC fighter since 2021, Silva immediately made noise in the promotion with three straight knockout victories. Things have not gone as swimmingly for Silva since. He’s lost four of his past five bouts, including a unanimous decision to Sharabutdin Magomedov in October. Silva now has a chance to not only save his job, but get the biggest win of his career if he can knock out the former middleweight champion on Saturday.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweights Nate Landwehr and Jamall Emmers threw down earlier tonight (Sat. March 30, 2024) live on ESPN+ inside Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In a really entertaining one round fight, Landwehr scored a knockout win.

The fight didn’t start well for him though! Emmers wobbled him with the first combination he threw, landing hard with his funky and fast right hand. For most of the opening two minutes, Emmers was having his way with Landwehr, teeing off with big shots and opening several cuts on his face.

That’s just Nate The Train though baby. Per usual, Landwehr took the shots without issue and kept advancing. He started finding his own range and returning the favor, particularly when the duo closed distance into the clinch. It was dirty boxing vs. Muay Thai, and Landwehr’s punches were winning that exchange.

Emmers took the fight on short-notice, and perhaps fatigue was starting to set in as well due to the frantic pace. Landwehr unleashed a savage combination that floored Emmers with a nasty uppercut, forcing an end to the contest.

Check out the highlight clip below:

Landwehr entered this bout following a competitive loss with Dan Ige, but Landwehr doesn’t have to win every fight. He’s consistently entertaining in the cage, one of the most trust worthy action fighters on the roster. Unfortunately for Emmers, this defeat continues his pattern of alternating wins and losses.

Who should “The Train” face next?

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Nate Landwehr did it again.

Saturday night, Landwehr faced Jamall Emmers in the final fight of the prelims at UFC Atlantic City, and once again, one of the most exciting fighters in MMA delivered.

Emmers came out guns blazing on Landwehr, rocking “The Train” almost immediately, but the Tennessee native was able to weather the storm and battle back as the round continued. Late into the round, Landwehr buzzed Emmers with a big shot, leading to a hectic clinch battle where both men slugged it out but both refused fall.

With time winding down, it looked as if the fight was headed to the second round, but Landwehr kept pressing the issue and landed a nasty uppercut on his retreating foe that dropped “Pretty Boy.” A few follow-up shots on the defenseless Emmers sealed the deal, and very well could have earned Landwehr another $ 50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.

Andre Petroski may be in line for a $ 50,000 bonus, as long as knocking yourself out in a fight counts.

After coming up short against Michel Pereira in his last outing, Petroski returned to the Octagon at UFC Atlantic City intent on climbing back into the win column against Australian standout Jacob Malkoun. Through the first five minutes, Petroski appeared to be well on his way to a victory. Then something truly bizarre happened.

In the opening minute of round two, Petroski shot in for a single-leg takedown. Malkoun quickly freed his leg, but Petroski suddenly appeared to be completely out of it. He immediately hit the ground and covered up. Malkoun capitalized, uncorking a vicious body kick before finishing off his opponent with a couple of hammer fists.

Official Result: Jacob Malkoun def. Andre Petroski via TKO (ground and pound) at 0:39 of Round 2.

Needless to say, there was a lot of confusion surrounding what had happened. After analyzing the replay, Paul Felder and Michael Bisping, who were on commentary duties for the event, suspected that Petroski’s head collided with Malkoun’s hip bone, delivering one of the craziest knockouts in recent memory.
