UFC 267: Blachowicz vs Teixeira Results

JUST HAPPENED:

Teixeira got a takedown in the opening minute and went to work. Blachowicz defended well, getting in an occasional strike as he attempted to tie his foe up and force a restart, but Teixeria stayed busy, making the champion as uncomfortable as possible in the process.
 
Blachowicz turned away Teixeira’s first takedown attempt of round two and followed up with crisp punches at range. In the second minute, the two locked up briefly against the fence before separating, and at range, Blachowicz’ takedown defense remained solid. Teixeira went back to his striking, rattling Blachowicz with a left hook before eating some shots in return. At the midway point, though, Teixeira got the fight to mat, and after taking Blachowicz’ back, he sunk in the rear naked choke that forced Blachowicz to tap out at 3:02 of the second round.
 
With the win, Teixeira moves to 33-7. Blachowicz falls to 28-9.
 
The oldest champion in UFC history was 45-year-old Randy Couture.

Official result – Glover Teixeira def Jan Blachowicz via submission (rear naked choke) at 3:02 of round two

Yan’s kicks were putting money in the bank for the Russian, but the same could be said for Sandhagen’s body shots as round two got underway. And as Yan settled into the fight, the standup exchanges got a lot more heated, with each fighter having their positive moments.
 
There was no let-up to the high-level action in the third, with Sandhagen keeping the pace high while Yan was more interested in picking his spots to attack. But with a little over a minute to go, Yan dropped Sandhagen with the biggest strikes of the fight, a spinning right backfist followed by a left hand that broke open the round. Sandhagen survived the ensuing onslaught, but momentum had swung to Yan’s side.
 
Sandhagen got a takedown midway through the fourth frame, and though Yan got up quickly, he now had something new to think about. When standing, Yan pressured his opponent and landed flush shots as the crowd roared. Sandhagen wasn’t backing down, but he was looking for other offensive options, and a subsequent takedown attempt came up empty, with Yan punishing his foe as they stood.
 
Still fresh in the final round, Sandhagen used lateral movement to hold Yan at bay, all the while throwing enough shots to keep “No Mercy” honest. With under two minutes to go, Yan landed a flush kick to the head that Sandhagen shook off, but it was a major scoring blow in a close round that the Coloradan tried to secure late before a last-second barrage of hard shots by Yan.
 
Official result – Petr Yan def. Cory Sandhagen via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-36, 49-46)

Ankalaev continued fighting a patient fight, with his clean shots opening up a nasty cut over Oezdemir’s left eye. And while the Swiss fighter marked up Ankalaev’s leg with his kicks, when Oezdemir landed hard shots upstairs, the Dagestan product smoothly went to his grappling game.
 
There was no change to the tenor of the fight in the third, with Ankalaev patient and Oezdemir not pushing him out of his comfort zone. End result? Another win for Ankalaev.

Jandiroba got the first takedown of the fight 90 seconds in, but Ribas wasn’t bothered, as she attempted a triangle choke that Jandiroba survived. “Carcara” proceeded to push Ribas to the fence and start working her ground-and-pound attack, but referee Dan Movahedi oddly restarted the action in the final minute. Jandiroba didn’t get rattled, though, as she finished the frame with a knockdown.
 
Ribas started the second with a good right hand, and she took the fight to Jandiroba throughout the five-minute session, forcing her compatriot into counterstriking mode while evening the score heading into the final frame.
 
Keeping the pressure on, Ribas hurt Jandiroba with a kick just past the midway point of the third round, and while “Carcara” cleared her head and kept fighting, it was completely Ribas’ fight over the last two rounds, and it showed on the final judges’ tallies.
 
Official result – Amanda Ribas def. Virna Jandiroba via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

The first round was fought at a fast pace, Tukhugov controlling matters much of the way thanks to his busy attack and pressure, but late in the stanza, a spinning back elbow by Ramos evened the score and put Tukhugov on the defensive for the rest of a round that saw both men go back to their corners wearing the damage from the previous five minutes on their face.
 
Tukhugov added to his early lead in round two, outstriking his foe and even adding a late takedown to his scorecard. And while both fighters continued to lift their work rate in the final frame, Ramos was unable to break Tukhugov, who picked up his first win since February 2020.

Kopylov grabbed the fence to avoid a trip to the mat, but after a stern warning and restart from referee Jason Herzog, Duraev got his takedown and smoothly moved into the mount. There, the strikes rained down, and while Kopylov tried to fire back as he tried to escape, Duraev didn’t let up with his assault, bloodying his opponent and nearly submitting him with a choke before the horn intervened.
 
Both fighters were bruised up for round three, but they kept battling, with Kopylov even scoring a takedown of his own late in the frame before the bout ended.

The Brazilian hurt Saint Denis early in round two and he put the heat on, and while most referees would have stopped the fight and rescued the game newcomer, referee Vyacheslav Kiselev allowed the bout to go on and Saint Denis made it out of the round.
 
Battered and bloodied, Saint Denis caught an accidental eye poke that Kiselev didn’t believe warranted a visit from the Octagonside physician, and he got hurt again by Dos Santos, but he never stopped fighting, even though he wasn’t done any favors by the referee or his corner. Dos Santos even lost a point without a warning for an inadvertent low blow, but it ultimately didn’t matter when it came to the final verdict.
 
Official result – Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos def. Benoit Saint Denis via unanimous decision (29-26, 29-26, 29-26)

As the fight went back to the mat in the second, Nascimento sought out a kimura, but Ulanbekov got loose and remained in the top position. He wasn’t able to do much with the advantage, as Nascimento continued to look for submissions.
 
The third was more of the same, with Ulanbekov controlling position while Nascimento stayed busy from his back, and that control was enough for the Russian to pick up the win on two of the three judges’ scorecards.

Official result – Tagir Ulanbekov def. Allan Nascimento via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)
