Ciryl Gane retained his UFC heavyweight title at Madison Square Garden by defeating Josh Hokit via unanimous decision.
Gane secured the 48-47 victory after sweeping the championship rounds on all three judges’ scorecards.
According to “Yahoo Sports”, the main event was “one of the more memorable heavyweight title fights in history.”
In the co-main event, Kayla Harrison defended her UFC women’s bantamweight championship with a fourth-round submission win over Amanda Nunes.
Harrison caught a body kick from Nunes and secured a rear-naked choke to force an immediate tap.
Photographs from the event captured the celebration, as detailed in “Media Zenfs”.
Following her dominant performance, Harrison stated that she laid claim to the title of G.O.A.T.
Stephen Thompson also delivered a standout performance during his retirement fight on the preliminary card.
Thompson secured a technical knockout victory over Charles Radtke with a spinning wheel kick in the fourth round.
The event featured several other notable matchups and decisions across the entire fight card.
A majority draw between Kevin Holland and Uros Medic drew criticism as one of the most egregious decisions of the evening.
Original reporting on the event was published on “Forbes.com”.
The promotion’s next scheduled event is a Fight Night in Qatar headlined by Jiri Prochazka and Navajo Stirling.
