Who won the UFC fight last night (July 15, 2023)?

UFC Vegas 77 proved to be a solid fight card, showcasing a thrilling display of memorable action throughout the event. The card not only provided thrilling moments but also served as a platform for emerging contenders to make their marks inside the octagon.

In the main event, Mayra Bueno Silva delivered a career-defining performance by submitting former UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm in the second round. Holm initially displayed her crafty footwork and experience, unleashing her striking offense and establishing control time in the clinch position against the cage.

Holm utilized the clinch position to effectively neutralize Bueno Silva's striking onslaught. However, during one such exchange, the Brazilian managed to get a hold of Holm and sunk in a guillotine choke that won her the fight. With this victory, Bueno Silva has won four straight fights inside the octagon.

In the co-main event, Jack Della Maddalena and Bassil Hafez engaged in a thrilling three-round affair, that was also awarded the 'Fight of the Night' bonus. Della Maddalena faced his toughest test to date inside the UFC octagon in the thrilling co-main event clash.

Hafez displayed impressive takedowns and grappling exchanges in the opening rounds. However, fatigue and Della Maddalena's body attack and boxing started to take a toll on Hafez. Despite a valiant effort by Hafez, the judges awarded the split decision victory to Della Maddalena, who has now won five straight fights under the UFC banner.

Surging contender, Fransisco Prado impressed everyone with a statement-making performance over Ottman Azaitar. He skillfully countered Azaitar's attempt to string together a combination and landed a thunderous spinning elbow on the counter. The elbow dropped Azaitar and Prado followed up with vicious ground-and-pound, ultimately securing the TKO victory in the very first round.

Meanwhile, Junyong Park defeated Albert Duraev via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:45 of the second round, concluding an electrifying and high-paced clash between the two fighters.
