Comment: Gane earned the biggest win of his career against Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event Saturday night. It went the full five-rounds and he won the decision in unanimous fashion, but that didn’t cease him from receiving criticism from UFC president Dana White for the lack of a highlight reel sequence. Regardless, Gane is undefeated and one of the top ranked challengers in the division.

One of the UFC more anticipated upcoming events has lost one of its bouts. According to #UFCAPEX #UFCVEGAS
The reason for the fight cancellation is reportedly an injury on the part of Ivanov. It is not known if the UFC will keep Tybura on the card with a new opponent or if this bout with be rescheduled for a later event.
The fight with Tybura would have been the sixth Octagon appearance for Ivanov, who joined the promotion after successful championship runs in WSOF and then PFL. The Bulgarian debuted in the UFC in 2018 with a unanimous decision loss to Junior dos Santos.
So, what’s waiting for Lewis if not a heavyweight title shot? Can Kunitskaya make any waves at 135 lbs? And is Chris Daukaus the darkhorse hot prospect in the heavyweight division?
To answer those questions – and a few other things – I’ll be using the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking methodology from the UFC of years past. That means pitting winners against winners, losers against losers, and similarly tenured talent up against one another. Hopefully, by following that model, a few of these bout ideas will actually make it off the page and into the Octagon. Now, let’s get to the fights.
