Last Sunday, the 2022 Octagonal Cage's Opening Battle UFC270 came to an end in the shock and amazement of global audiences. In the two finale games of the day, former flyweight champion Davidson Figueretto, with a wonderful and ups and downs of the confrontation, judged the narrow victory over the current king Brandon Moreno, successfully regained the championship belt from the opponent's hands, and also made himself the first "super champion" in the history of flyweights to be crowned twice.
Nagano, the "strongest human" and "predator" who just ascended to the heavyweight throne last year, defeated his former teammate Cyril Gayn with a unanimous judgment in his first defending battle, not only clearing the "biggest threat" on his own road to rule, but also bringing the upper limit of human fighting to a "horror zone" that no one had ever set foot on...
First race of the main tournament, middleweight
Michael Morales TKO ends Triven Giles
The two non-famous players who only hitched the "last train" of the main line-up at the last minute were all-out and unconservative in this game. Giles, an octagonal cage veteran who had just suffered a defeat in July last year and ended his three-game winning streak, took the lead and hit hard shortly after the opening, and once saw the dawn of victory. The "undefeated newcomer" Morales, who only won the UFC contract through the Dana Tuesday Challenge last September, showed his excellent qualities in adversity, not only quickly stabilizing his position, but also seizing the opportunity to meet the hit in the confrontation, and finally not only won the UFC debut victory with TKO, but also became a potential rookie in the second middleweight with a professional record of 13 wins.
Mains Race 2 Werderweight
Side Nurmagmydov surrendered to victory over Kodi Starman
In this match, Kodi Starman, a powerful figure with a deep wrestling background and solid batting skills, only lasted 47 seconds on the field before being subdued by the side guillotine from Dagestan, Russia.
Although Stamman's competitive form has always been stable and the game experience is rich enough, in the face of Side's lightning-fast standing blows and dazzling technical transformations, the former top ten masters of the youngweight level have almost no time to make any effective attacks, and they are "tied up" in the opponent's interlocking combos.
For this amazing result, in addition to lamenting the magic of the surname "Nurmagmydov", people also have to admit that the overall level of the current chickweight is rapidly improving at a speed that has never been seen before, and in the face of more and more powerful newcomers, if today's top fifteen masters cannot remain vigilant and continue to evolve, they are likely to be surpassed by the genius juniors before they can join the championship ranks.
Race 3 of the main tournament, middleweight
Michel Pereira unanimously decided to defeat Andre Fialio
"Not show uncomfortable" Pereira, in this game, continue to maintain their own "performance artist" style, in the face of the tenacious resistance of octagon cage newcomer André Fialio, he was "not smooth performance" in the first leg, still go his own way, big moves, and finally with the obvious advantage of the last two rounds, unanimously decided to win the game, and won his own octagon cage four consecutive wins.
However, this victory does not make us too optimistic about Pereira's prospects, this time in the face of the grassroots newcomer who has just entered the octagonal cage, he is still relying on obvious physical advantages and the ability to shoot at long-range points best to suppress the opponent's counterattack, and the weakness of the power of the single punch and the lack of finishing means will be the hidden dangers he will face sooner or later on the road to the future ascent.
Joint Main Tournament Flyweight Championship Battle
Davidson Figueredo unanimously ruled against Brandon Moreno
In this third championship battle between the two sides, the two champions, who had long known each other's roots, almost without any temptation, unreservedly threw themselves into the high-speed confrontation with full firepower and red bayonets. Figueret, the "hairdresser" who single-handedly created the flyweight "today's prosperous world", hopes to use his own technology and experience to regain his great country, while Brandon Moreno, who has just seized the throne from his predecessors, wants to use his own blood and vigor to open his own era.
In the end, in the face of the speed, endurance and even boxing skills exceeded their own young descendants, the tough and old "God of War", with continuous low sweeps, excellent heavy blows, and constant wrestling switching, in this bloody battle of equal strength and glue, forcibly reversed the direction of history and regained the dominance of the flyweight level back into his hands.
After this war, the two sides fought a rare "three-time draw" with one victory, one loss and one draw, and Figueretto, who re-ascended the throne, also issued four battles to the other side quite atmospherically, if there is no accident, the long struggle between the two sides will continue, and no matter what the final result is, the entire flyweight will reach a new height that has not been reached when Hercules and Sai Hudo were in power.
Headline Main Race Heavyweight Championship Battle
Francis Nagano unanimously ruled against Cyril Gayne
This globally watched "battle for the strongest humanity" has won and lost in an unexpected and reasonable way. Although many viewers were slightly disappointed by not being able to see the expected hot confrontation or shocking ending, the level of combat effectiveness and dramatic process displayed by both sides in this game were more exciting than the "wonderful scenes" in the conventional sense.
In the face of Cyril-Gaine, who is talented, tall and powerful, the "predatory warrior" Nagano, who has always swept in all directions and is unstoppable, shows his helplessness for the first time, "can't hit, can't reach, can't catch", which is basically his true portrayal of the first two rounds.
"Good boy" Gain used his superb skills and top boxing quotient to make himself the first "super human" in history to make the "Demon King" suffer in a standing confrontation. And Nagano, who could not make it in the fist and foot competition, refreshed people's understanding of him again in the later matches. From the third round onwards, the "Iron Blood", who was on the verge of collapse, sacrificed the wrestling tactics that had never been used before.
Although he is not top-notch in wrestling techniques, ground suppression and cage edge control are also slightly jerky, but under the blessing of the "Power of the Demon God", Gain, who has a 100% anti-fall rate after entering the octagonal cage, still rises and falls flat like a tree that has been uprooted, and the dream of the champion in front of the "good boy" is also in vain with The "upgrade transformation" of Nagano.
After the game, many enthusiastic viewers, including even "bone" Jones, who watched TV at home, expressed disapproval of the ground technology of the two players in this game, but in fact, this "pure technical comparison" did not have much significance in the actual game. Although there are certainly many people in this world who have better ground technology than Iron Blood and Gain, the premise is that only Gayn, who is pure in fist and foot technology and has physical fitness to catch up with "Iron Blood", can force the standing and strong Nagano to use wrestling tactics.
On the other hand, only the absolute strength, especially the "iron blood" whose explosive power has exceeded the scope of human beings, can successfully drag The Fall-Proof Gaine into the ground quagmire. The beasts that have learned to use human techniques and tactics are of course more powerful than their past selves, but this does not mean that humans can join this "inhuman battlefield" with their own technological advantages.
In short, this game not only allows the two talented fighters who are overpowering the crowd to divide the victory and defeat, but also allows the entire fighting world to see a new height above the ceiling of the industry, when the two demon gods who have broken through the upper limit of human combat strength, in this "terror zone" full of unknowns, when they open up new paths, all the contemporaries and future generations will benefit a lot because of the opening of this new world, because this is after many years, people have once again seen - the real battle beyond the limits of human beings. What exactly it looks like.
