UFC 229: Lansberg v Kunitskaya

Round 1: In a fight which saw Yana Kunitskaya mostly dominate, Lina Lansberg put up a good fight nonetheless but was no match for Yana. Lansberg was hit with an Uchi Mata, and ate a lot of knees in the first round.

Round 2: Kunitskaya's strikes kept her on top of the fight as they headed into the second round. Several knees and strikes saw Lina Lansberg scramble. Lina was shaken up heading into the third round and her attempts at a Kimura and side neck choke looked desperate at best.

Round 3: The third round looked a bit more equal in the beginning, but soon enough it was the same old story. It was Yana Kunitskaya with a few sharp strikes and blocking body kicks which is what was needed to pick up the win.

Result: Yana Kunitskaya defeated Lina Lansberg via Unanimous Decision (30-27*3)


Prelims:

#1 Scott Holtzman vs. Alan Patrick:

UFC 229: Holtzman v Patrick

Round 1: One of the most one-sided fights of the night so far, Scott Holtzman dominated the fight in the 1st Round. His ground and pound and dropping of Alan Patrick saw him as the early favourite to win the fight. There did not seem any problems, as Holtzman worked Patrick in the corner.

Round 2: Scott Holtzman brought his 'crazy' out, in the second round, as he landed some insane elbows on his opponent after dropping him, the likes of which he did not have any business landing. The noise reverberated around the stadium, while everyone wondered how Patrick managed to survive them, and the get through the second round.

Round 3: Even if Patrick had been able to survive the 2nd Round, there was no way he could last through the third. He was knocked down in the third-minute mark with a huge counter punch, followed by some elbows, which saw him knocked out.

The win came at a price for Scott Holtzman, however, as he confirmed that despite winning he had suffered from fractures in both his hands during the fight.

Result: Scott Holtzman defeated Alan Patrick via KO (3rd Round, 3 Minutes and 42 Seconds)
