UFC Fight Night 170 Results: Charles Oliveira Scores Another Submission

We are going a little old school for coverage with the UFC being the only game in town.

So, welcome to our live, ongoing coverage of UFC Fight Night 170 featuring Kevin Lee and Charles Oliveira from the Ginasio Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil. The action begins this afternoon live on ESPN and ESPN+.

Due to the wide-spread panic concerning the COVID-19 virus, most major sports leagues have closed up shop for the time being. Not the UFC, though, as Dana White has stated he has discussed the matter with President Donald Trump and the show will go on.

Along with the featured attraction, former title contender Demian Maia tackles Gilbert Burns and Renato Moicano meets Damir Hadzovic. Johnny Walker vs. Nikita Krylov and Francisco Trinaldo vs. John Makdessi completes the five-bout main card.

The 27-year-old Lee (18-5) is coming off a first round knockout of Gregor Gillespie. He dropped a pair of bouts prior to that to Rafael dos Anjos and Al Iaquinta, and faced Tony Ferguson in 2017 for the interim lightweight title.

Oliveira has strung together a six-fight win streak featuring four submission and two knockout wins since a 2017 loss to Paul Felder. He owns a career record of 28-8 with 18 submission wins.

Headlining the prelim portion will be Jussier Formiga, as the flyweight faces off against Brandon Moreno. Randa Markos vs. Amanda Riba, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs. Alexey Kunchenko and Rani Yahya vs. Enrique Barzola are among the other bouts.

Round 1: We’ve had a string of decisions to begin the event, but with two knockout artists in the light heavyweight division, that could change.

Krylov trying for the takedown and he gets it, dragging him down with him.

After a few minutes on the ground, Krylov rocks Walker who is wobbled. Walker, though, throws a spinning back-fist literally out of nowhere. Krylov lands with his second takedown of the round.

Moicano all over Hadzovic, taking his back less than 30 seconds into the bout. He has the arm locked under the neck and this one is all over. And these two are talking trash, especially Moicano to Hadzovic.

These two are still trying to get after each other. Moicano sounded as if he was saying he “had nothing against you.” From the second the bout ended when Hadzovic tapped, Moicano got up and was saying something to Hadzovic.

Demian Maia Vs. Gilbert Burns

Burns connects and floors Maia, celebrating as if he had won. Maia, though, quickly recovers, Burns pounces and finishes this time for real. Big-time win for Burns.
