Bellator 300 took place on Saturday in San Diego, and it was a night full of exciting fights. In the co-main event, Cristiane Justino, also known as Cyborg, made quick work of Cat Zingano, winning by TKO in the first round. This dominant performance solidifies Cyborg’s spot as the second-ranked women’s featherweight fighter. There is growing support for her to reclaim the number one spot from Amanda Nunes, who knocked her out five years ago.
Another notable fight on the card was Leah McCourt’s victory over Sara McMann. McCourt showcased her skills and moved up to the seventh spot in the women’s featherweight rankings. However, she remains stuck in that position due to her recent loss to Zingano.
The main event featured Usman Nurmagomedov defending his lightweight title against Brent Primus. Nurmagomedov proved to be too much for Primus, winning in a dominant fashion. This victory maintains Nurmagomedov’s spot at number 15 in the lightweight rankings.
In the women’s flyweight division, Liz Carmouche successfully defended her belt against Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. Despite Macfarlane missing weight and being ineligible to win the title, Carmouche showcased her dominance and secured a TKO victory in the fifth round. She remains at the number three spot in the women’s flyweight rankings.
Lastly, at UFC Fight Night 229, Bobby Green delivered an impressive performance against Grant Dawson. Green knocked out Dawson in just 33 seconds, reminding everyone of his dangerous skills. This win propels Green back into the lightweight rankings at number 10.
Overall, Bellator 300 and UFC Fight Night 229 provided fans with thrilling fights and impressive performances. Cyborg, Nurmagomedov, Carmouche, and Green all showcased their skills and solidified their positions in their respective divisions. It will be exciting to see what’s next for these fighters as they continue their journeys in the world of mixed martial arts.
