- Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko Battle to a Split Draw
Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko left fans on the edge of their seats in their highly anticipated flyweight championship rematch. The main event, a grueling and closely contested affair, ended in a split draw, casting a shadow of controversy over Grasso's championship victory. For 25 intense minutes, Grasso and Shevchenko engaged in a back-and-forth battle that had the audience enthralled. The climactic moment arrived in the fifth round when Grasso managed to secure a late rear-naked choke, a submission that Shevchenko valiantly defended until the final horn sounded. As the scorecards were unveiled, the tension in the arena reached its peak. Judge Sal DâAmato scored the fight 48-47 in favor of Shevchenko, while judge Junichiro Kamijo saw it 48-47 for Grasso. The decisive vote came from the third official, Mike Bell, who scored the contest 47-47, resulting in the unexpected split draw. Controversy erupted when it was revealed that Bell had awarded a 10-8 score for the fifth round to Grasso, leading to the 47-47 scorecard. Shevchenko, typically composed and stoic, was visibly upset by the outcome, passionately declaring that she deserved to be celebrating her second UFC championship reign. âI believe it was a 3-2 decision in my favor," Shevchenko asserted. "But I feel that the judges may have succumbed to the pressure, given it's Mexican Independence Day. Perhaps that's why they leaned towards the Mexican fighter. I fought relentlessly, and I genuinely believe I did enough to secure the victory. In a fair competition, the victory would undoubtedly be mine." Grasso echoed similar sentiments about the fight, with both fighters seemingly perplexed by the outcome of a bout that had showcased their incredible skills over five grueling rounds. Now, the question looms as to whether the UFC will schedule a third encounter between these two warriors, especially considering the unforgettable spectacle they delivered on that Saturday night. However, Grasso remained cautious about committing to a trilogy just yet, understandably so after engaging in an exhausting five-round war. The aftermath of Noche UFC has left fight fans with much to ponder, as the controversy surrounding the split draw adds a layer of uncertainty to an already thrilling rivalry.

- Former Bellator champ AJ McKee set to return to action
Former Bellator featherweight champion, AJ McKee, is set to make his long-awaited return to the cage after nearly a year. The fighter, known by his moniker 'Mercenary,' has been absent from the octagon since his unanimous decision victory over Roberto de Souza in December of the previous year. McKee's triumph took place in the main event of Bellator X RIZIN, marking his second consecutive victory following an earlier unanimous decision win against UFC veteran Spike Carlyle in October. However, his journey to the cage has not been without setbacks. Following his December victory, AJ McKee was scheduled to participate in Bellator's prestigious million-dollar lightweight Grand Prix. Fans eagerly anticipated his showdown with Patricky Pitbull, scheduled for July. Unfortunately, an injury forced McKee to withdraw from the bout, leaving enthusiasts eagerly awaiting his comeback. In a recent report by Marc Raimondi of ESPN MMA, it has been confirmed that AJ McKee will stage his comeback at a Bellator event slated for November 17th. His opponent for the much-anticipated return is none other than Sidney Outlaw, who is returning to the cage himself after a significant win in August. Outlaw pulled off a stunning upset against Islam Mamedov, securing a unanimous decision victory. This victory marked his third win in his last four cage appearances, with previous wins over Myles Jury and Adam Piccolotti. As of now, the AJ McKee vs. Sidney Outlaw bout is the sole fight announced for Bellator's November event. The timing of this event is particularly intriguing, given the recent rumors surrounding the potential sale of Bellator to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) for a staggering $900 million. This speculation has been circulating for several months, with Scott Coker, the president of Bellator, confirming ongoing discussions regarding the sale earlier in the summer. However, the announcement of AJ McKee's return signifies that Bellator is not willing to bow out quietly. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the promotion's future ownership, the resumption of high-profile matchups and the continued commitment to delivering top-tier MMA action demonstrates that Bellator still has some fight left in it. Fans and fighters alike eagerly anticipate the return of 'Mercenary' AJ McKee, as he steps back into the cage in what could be a defining moment for both his career and Bellator's future.

- Venado keeps Winning.
Luis Alberto "Venado" Lopez made his second IBF featherweight world title defense against the tuff Joet GonzĂĄlez. It was a really close fight to my eyes where the champ connected the harder punches but at times was outworked by the tuff challenger GonzĂĄlez. Lopez won by unanimous decision 118- 110, 117 - 111, 116-112. To be honest I did see the champ win but it was closer than what the judges saw or at least I had a closer score but I believe its a good fight so the champ can get experience from a tuff fighter, GonzĂĄlez is as tuff as they come and has only lost to champions and knows how to apply pressure. His attack is relentless. This fight will be a good learning experience for Lopez. In my opiniĂłn Lopez is one of the solid featherweight world champions, to be honest I believe he can beat WBA champ Wood and WBO champ Ramirez, but I dout he can get through WBC champion Rey Vargas. Anyways it was a good world title fight from both men to put the iceing on the cake of a good show.
- Navarrete wants the "Boogieman".
Super featherweight WBO world champion Emmanuel Navarrete stated he would like to fight Shakur Stevenson in sĂșper featherweight or a catchweight fight. Navarrete has some balls in asking for that fight. You lightweight contenders should be ashamed of yourselves, a smaller man asking to fight Shakur and all the top lightweight contenders look the other way. That fight might be next after they both fight on the same event. Emanuel Navarrete will defend his title against Robson Conceição on the Stevenson vs De Los Santos undercard on Nov. 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. That makes me think Top Rank is up to something.
