The UFC Vegas 12 The main card is nearing completion, and the joint main event has just seen the company’s 15th-ranked featherweight, Bryce Mitchell, make a tough unanimous decision on Andre Willy’s game. It was Mitchell’s wrestling that helped him influence the referees, but Price had to overcome a strong attack in the second round from Philly. This brings five straight wins for Mitchell, who scored his first victory in the new camouflage shorts.
Before that, former NFL star Greg Hardy was awarded a TKO award in the second round of Maurice Greene. It was Hardy’s left hand that scored the knockout, and the ground and the pound got the finish. Greene immediately protested the stopping, indicating that he was still moving when the referee decided to stop the fight. However, the polarizing Hardy has now achieved successive victories.
We got first place in the first round on the main card thanks to Kevin Holland who stopped Charlie Antivirus by verbal submission after a slam. Holland struck a furious flight from the end, which prompted Antiverus to yell at the referee. After his victory, Holland began talking garbage to Middleweight Ultimate Fighting Championship champ Yisrael Adesania, who was seated next to the cage. This is four wins for the Netherlands in 2020, and in his post-fight interview he asked for an anonymous opponent. Notably, Ontivirus left the appraiser on a stretcher, citing a problem with his neck. The broadcast stated that he was able to feel all of his fingers and the bottom of his toes.
When the main card was opened, the young players Thiago Moises and Bobby Green had a tough and competitive 15 minutes. Moises had a strong opening tour and digging deep to have his hit moments in the third round, and he did enough to make a unanimous decision. This makes two in a row for Moises, who used his post-fight interview to invite some seeded opposition on his upcoming outing.
