Vieira triumphs; Holm surprised and disappointed

Ketlen Vieira won by split decision over Holly Holm in the main event at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas in a clash that will not go down in history.

The Brazilian won by split decision. The 30-year-old fighter got the nod from two judges who gave Holm the cards 48-47 to only one.

Vieira got the best chance to end the fight in round two as she landed a choke that appeared to put Holm (14-6-0) in a worrying position as her face turned red.

The win will be a big boost for Vieira who suffered a controversial split decision loss in February to Yana Kunitskaya. This victory should allow him to access a title fight.

Vieira could be lucky enough to find herself in combat against Julianna Pena or Amanda Nunes, who will fight at UFC 277 on July 30.

Holm disagrees with the judges’ decision. After the fight, she said she conceded losing the second round, but she believed she had done enough to win the fight.

The fight usually took place standing up to the chagrin of Vieira, who regularly found herself pinned against the fence of the octagon.

Vieira (13-2-0) looked passive, neutral and on defense for most of the fight.

Holm, who is 40 and hasn’t been back in an octagon since October 2020, hoped to use this fight as a springboard to a return to the top of her class.

Holm was scheduled to fight twice but was ruled out each time, once due to a medical issue and then a knee injury.

In the fight against Usyk, Wilder is ready to do what Muhammad Ali once did

Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder He stated that he was confident about his victory against Alexander Usyk, the owner of the WBC, WBA and IBF championships.

The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.

“This will be a big thing for me and people will be shocked. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I’m going to shake the world, too. And I’ll do it again,” Wilder said.

Previously, Alexander Usik (24-0, 15 KOs), the holder of the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg), talked about his plans and admitted when he plans to end his professional career. The boxer recently vacated his WBO title and lost his status as absolute world champion.

TYSON FURY: “There was a void after Klitschko. He can fill that void.”

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.

“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.

Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.
