#5 Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Chase Sherman
Sherman showed no intelligible defence whatsoever in this fight; and paid for it dearly.
Although both Abdurakhimov and Sherman aren’t top-tier fighters in the UFC Heavyweight division per se, the performance put up by Sherman has got to haunt him in the days that follow. Abdurakhimov blazed through Sherman; sleeping the latter with a huge punch.
Result: Shamil Abdurakhimov def. Chase Sherman via KO (Punch) (Round 1, 1:24)
#6 Gina Mazany vs. Wu Yanan
Gina Mazany encountered a rather awkward style in Wu Yanan, but was awarded the win by the judges nonetheless.
Mazany controlled the pace of this matchup and dictated where the fight takes place—something that usually is a significant plus-point in the eyes of the judges. She did have a few problems with Yanan’s timing and chilly poise in the Octagon, but was the more skilled fighter of the two.
Result: Gina Mazany def. Wu Yanan via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
#7 Rolando Dy vs. Wuliji Buren
Rolando Dy had several openings in this matchup with Wuliji Buren but seemed tentative in the striking exchanges.
Dy did enough to steal rounds from Buren, and with the crowd growing restless tried to push the pace as well, but to no avail. He out-struck Buren, and thoroughly schooled the latter’s overall MMA game, and walked away the victor across the scorecards in the end.
Result: Rolando Dy def. Wuliji Buren via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 30-27)
#8 Cyril Asker vs. Hu Yaozong
Asker kept Yaozong at bay with his strikes, but this matchup saw the best sequences occur on the mat.
Yaozong seemed impressive in the first round, but tired down the stretch before giving up his back and getting submitted in the second round.
Result: Cyril Asker def. Hu Yaozong via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) (Round 2, 2:33)
