UFC On ESPN: Kattar Vs. Ige Quick Results, Live Blog

UFC On ESPN MAIN CARD BLOG

Mounir Lazzez kicked off the main card with a win good enough to bring over UFC president Dana White after.

Lazzez bested Abdul Razak Alhassan, scoring a decision victory. Alhassan missed weight for the contest, giving Lazzez a little bit extra cheddar on the side. 

Using her distance advantage, Talia Santos was able to sweep all three rounds on all three scorecards and claim a decision over Molly McCann in a female flyweight contest. 

Most might have expected Jimmie Rivera to walk through Cody Stamann, but the two had an entertaining and back-and-forth three-round battle.

In the end, it was Rivera declared the winner via decision. 

Rivera appeared to early score a finish early on, but Stamann showed his abilities by surviving.

The decision train continued in the co-main event as Tim Elliott bested Ryan Benoit.

For Elliott, the win was his first since a 2017 victory over Mark De La Rosa, snapping a three-fight losing skid. He is now 16-11-1 overall in his career. 

After four decisions to begin the main card, it would come as no surprise that the main event went the distance.

Following five hard-fought rounds and 25 minutes, Calvin Kattar was declared the winner over Dan Ige.

The 32-year-old Kattar followed up his May finish of Jeremy Stephens, improving to 22-4 overall and 6-2 with the UFC. He also holds wins over Ricardo Lamas and Shane Burgos.

For Ige, the loss snapped a six-fight win streak. 

That is all for tonight as we will return this Saturday night with UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2, also known as UFC FIght Night 172 or UFC on ESPN+ 30.
