Because it so typically does, Fury FC lived as much as its identify at its most up-to-date present in Dallas, bringing it with huge finishes from high to backside.

Beginner featherweight Cody Anderson stole the present in his debut, throwing simply two strikes to beat Samuel Chaidez in seven seconds.

Allamov observed Tracy Reeder saved dipping his head when defending, so he adjusted with a well-timed knee proper into his chin. Tyquiengco merely imposed her will on Amber Terrell, jamming her with clinch knees till she needed to give up.

That’s Neto Pinheiro ippon’ing all up on this sitch at a Shooto Brasil occasion in Rio de Janeiro. Pinheiro is the brother of top-15 strawweight Luana Pinheiro, and you may see that these two actually love tossing folks round.

Not solely did Pinheiro lock down the MMA Throw of the 12 months (a prestigious award, if there ever was one), he completed shortly after with a rear-naked choke to enhance to 3-0, all by first-round end.

Bruno Nascimento went all in to begin the third spherical, firing out a proper after which spinning to win with a kick to the physique. Poor Arthur Mota was a punching bag from there as Nascimento adopted up with somewhat little bit of every thing to snag the standing TKO.

A flying knee. A pointy elbow. Punches in bunches. One other knee. Whenever you’ve grow to be the coaching dummy in a combo video, it’s time for the referee to step in.
