But at what point do you just decide to listen to your athlete? Okamoto: Uncertainty. I personally would be in regret for the rest of my life but hey I don't have to fight Austin. Helwani: Ordinarily this would be an easy one: Blaydes vs. Francis Ngannou next. Before he could try another, he was tagged by an overhand right, which dropped him to the canvas. Yes, the champion is a judo black belt with seven career submissions (two in the UFC). Wagenheim: What a hype train Rohskopf rode in on for his UFC debut, after having finished all of his previous fights by submission. Both? I'm saying Blaydes deserves to wait for a title shot if he wants, even though that's a long, long wait. I disagree with that argument, but others made it at the time. The first encounter ended with a doctor’s stoppage at the end of the second round, with Ngannou getting the victory. Raimondi: I wrote last week that the winner between Roxanne Modafferi and Lauren Murphy would make a good next opponent for Calvillo. But do you like anyone's chances against her in a standup fight? But I have a bit of an outside-the-box matchup for him next, provided Emmett doesn't have a torn ACL and is not out for many months. Magomedsharipov vs. Rodriguez is a fight that needs to happen and has been booked before. Austin Hubbard opened the night by fending off the wrestling of Max Rohskopf. The UFC previously visited Mainland China for UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum in November 2017. Also, perhaps most importantly, she explicitly called out Calvillo afterward: "I want to fight Cynthia Calvillo next," she said. The 25-year-old looked calm during introductions, and he put Austin Hubbard in trouble on the canvas early. That probably sounds wild, considering Good lost to Belal Muhammad, but Good went into this weekend having overcome COVID-19 earlier this year and recently enduring the loss of his father. Raimondi: It was a really unique occurrence in MMA, one I wish happened more. Okamoto: I thought it was an extremely smart decision, and I wish his coach would have made it for him. "Hey, listen, The Reem is back," he said. ", Ngannou gets quick KO in UFC's Beijing debut, UFC options for vacant lightweight title include Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier, UFC 254: A dominant performance, a tearful goodbye and a legacy of greatness for Khabib, Khabib defeats Gaethje, announces retirement, Whittaker gets UFC 254 win, eyes Adesanya shot, Sources: Edwards vs. Chimaev set for December, McGregor says he will fight Poirier on Jan. 23, Cejudo: Show me the money and I'll come back, Moraes to battle Font on Dec. card, source says, UFC 254: Khabib Nurmagomedov retiring at the top of his sport elicits memories of Michael Jordan. So yes, Murphy or Robertson would work -- and I'd be down for either one -- but I think there are better options out there for Calvillo. Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes predicts a finish against Junior Dos Santos at UFC Fight Night Raleigh, then he wants another crack at Francis Ngannou – ‘I know where he’s weak’. Emmett vs. Allen would be an outstanding fight. Ngannou has been on a superb run since losing to Miocic and Derrick Lewis, beating Curtis Blaydes, Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Robertson scored her fourth career submission on Saturday, giving her the most in UFC women's history. This was a short-notice prelim fight. She has now won four of five at 125 and has the second-most wins at flyweight behind champion Valentina Shevchenko and Katlyn Chookagian, who have five apiece. Ngannou started his MMA career in November 2013 and fought mostly in the French promotion 100% Fight, as well as other regional promotions in Europe. Francis Ngannou got back on track with a ferocious performance during UFC's first visit to Beijing, knocking out Curtis Blaydes just 25 seconds into …
