ONAMA TRIUMPHS WITH UNANIMOUS DECISION
The Ugandan fighter won the match with a score of 30-27 on all three judges' scorecards, which seems a bit unfair for Romero, who walked away with no points.
Onama appeared to dominate the fight right from the start, even taunting his opponent by saying, "Come on, baby." However, a kick to the leg nearly caused him to fall. He then secured a takedown and kept a firm grip on his opponent for the final minutes of the round. If he had thrown those powerful tomahawk punches he landed at the end a bit sooner, he might have achieved a stoppage.
It was a less eventful round as Romero's engine seems to be running on empty. Onama manages to connect with his signature left-right-left hook combo a few times, along with some effective body shots. He also dominates the grappling for about a minute towards the end of the round. While Onama appears to be in firm control, it’s probably one round apiece so far.
Romero enters the fight determined, delivering a series of leg kicks before landing a powerful right hand that knocks the favored fighter to the ground. Onama nearly secured an anaconda choke while they were grappling. Once they stood back up, Romero managed to stagger his opponent a few times. In the final moments of the round, Onama unleashed a staggering combination that sent Romero to the canvas, followed by swift punches just as the round came to an end.
The thrilling David Onama, with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, is set to face off against Roberto Romero, who has a record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw.
Tybura Triumphs! Doctor Halts Contest
Tybura stumbled as he made his way back to his seat, relying heavily on his team's support to reach it. The doctor examined his eyes with a flashlight and wisely recommended that the match be stopped.
The experienced fighter faced off against Tybura after only two weeks' notice. He felt pleased to dominate the match by spending time on top, controlling the action on the ground. He started strong by rushing at the Brazilian and taking him down. However, in the final thirty seconds, Tybura landed several hard elbows that broke Diniz's nose, and the referee nearly stopped the fight because of it.
Diniz surprised Tybura with a left punch, knocking him to the ground soon after. However, the experienced fighter managed to flip him over and took charge in a half-guard position for the remainder of the round.
"Heavyweights First On The Card!"
Marcin Tybura (#9) faces off against Jhonata Diniz in what is expected to be an action-packed start to the event.
