For the next time in two weeks, UFC produced its presence recognized to UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada final night time (Sat., June 13, 2020) for UFC on ESPN 10. The promotion’s third occasion within the UFC APEX was considerably from their most anticipated, as there was only a single match up involving rated fighters. Thankfully, lesser known fighters and up-and-comers can still place on remarkable fights, so there was unquestionably some motion value conversing about.

Let’s acquire a closer look at the most effective performances and procedures of the night time:
A New Flyweight Contender
Cynthia Calvillo largely dominated Jessica Eye.
The to start with round was close, but if not? Calvillo was the more rapidly and additional precise striker, sticking Eye with very long jabs and crosses to the physique then dipping away before Eye could land back. Truly even though, Calvillo’s takedowns received her the struggle. Soon after the first productive trip and back again choose, Eye by no means managed to discover her groove all over again.
In point, “Evil” appeared downright clunky at situations, slowly but surely stepping ahead and whiffing normally. Calvillo’s blend of velocity, footwork, and hazardous grappler actually stymied the veteran, who has verified herself a rough out at 125 lbs.
Flyweight demands an inflow of contenders, and it has at minimum a single in “Spicy.”
Vettori’s Revenge
Marvin Vettori has a historic situation with opponents pulling out. Roberson is the newest instance, as “Baby K” skipped body weight twice reverse “The Italian Aspiration,” and the very first time it cancelled their plan scrap.
Vettori was annoyed for obvious reasons, and previous evening, he was in a position to unleash all that pent up anger instantly onto Roberson’s experience. Just after a transient emotion-out course of action, Vettori ducked into a takedown. The combat was not immediately resolved — Roberson nearly countered with a back again just take and choke! — but it was firmly in Vettori’s wheelhouse.
The two scrambled for substantially of the very first round, and Vettori completed in leading placement every time. With about a moment remaining, Roberson at last settled to his again. Vettori was in no mood to enable off the fuel, so he postured up and just began dropping quantity on Roberson. Dozens of punches linked or slammed into his guard, prompting Roberson to convert his back again and test to stand.
It proved a fatal mistake.
Dimensions Issues
In the two previously women’s fights of the evening, we noticed two main discrepancies in sizing and toughness. Predictably, this did not end properly for the lesser athletes.
In the initial illustration, Gina Mazany started rapid, landing a number of fantastic left hands early on Julia Avila. That only served to piss off “Raging Panda,” who dug a knee into her foe’s mid-section. Mazany backed off in ache, allowing for Avila to unleash a few dozen punches on her shelled up foe, forcing the referee stoppage.
The upcoming battle was even much more vicious, as Mariya Agapova rather much conquer the crap out of Hannah Cifers. Agapova has a boxing track record, but I do not even assume it mattered. She walked by way of Cifers’ punches with nary a treatment in the earth, connecting with her still left hand a fifty percent-dozen instances in the opening minute. Times later on, she hid a identical-side significant kick at the rear of that left, sending her foe to the mat briefly.
Agapova then jumped the back again and strangled her foe.
In both instances, the smaller and much less athletic combatant was confused from nearly the very first bell. It’s an vital reminder of the value of physicality in MMA, and just how a great deal skill is required to make up for any disadvantage.
Observing all those fights, it must be noticeable why missing pounds is prevalent — no one particular would like to be the scaled-down punching bag!
More Feelings
- Tyson Nam defeats Zarrukh Adashev by means of first-spherical knockout: Tyson Nam is a counter puncher, just one of the heaviest hitting Flyweights on the roster. At instances, it can be annoying to enjoy him battle, as sensible opponents will refrain for committing way too substantially, satisfied to win a conclusion dependent on volume. Then, he ultimately connects, and it all would make feeling —- Nam totally flattened Adashev with a perfect counter suitable hand, timing his foe’s lower kick to score a gorgeous knockout.
- Christian Aguilera defeats Anthony Ivy via first-spherical knockout: Faced with an opponent who seemed to shift and kick, it took Aguilera much less than a moment to monitor his opponent down with crisp straight punches. Immediately after a clear 1-2, Aguilera switched up the timing, throwing a cross-jab. Adhering to the cross with a jab is a wonderful way to extend assortment with a jab that carries serious energy, and the strike shocked Ivy. Aguilera right away sensed his foe was hurt and swarmed, securing himself a fast complete.
