Grade For Event: B-
Picks Record for Event: 5-4
Ortega vs Korean Zombie: Bald Ortega looked like a brand new fighter last night. He won every round on my scorecard and it really wasn't close. Zombies best round was the second until he got hit with a crazy spinning elbow right on the chin that dropped him. He never really found his flow throughout the fight after that. I saw he posted on his Instagram that he doesn't remember rounds three through five, so that elbow must have done some real damage. With this win, Ortega should get another title shot at 145lbs. The match up between him and Volkanovski is mouthwatering. Dana White and the UFC matchmakers need to get on that ASAP.
Best Of The Rest: Andrade got a good first round TKO over Chookagian with a brutal body shot. She is the first womans UFC fighter to win a fight in three different weight classes. Jimmy Crute knocked out Bukauskas in the first round with punches in bunches. I truly believe Crute is the future of the Light Heavyweight division. At 24 years old, he already has four good UFC wins to his name. Now that his striking is catching up to his grappling, he is going to be a problem for a lot of fighters at that weigh. Martinez got the biggest win of his career over Almedia. He is another young fighter on the rise. Kutateladze wins a close decision over Gamrot in what was fight of the night. Finally, Said Nurmagomedov got a brutal KO win over Striegl in the first round. Anybody with that last name I would avoid at all cost, even if they aren't related to Khabib.
