Another action-packed weekend in combat sports saw thrilling knockouts, championship implications, and unforgettable performances across the UFC, ONE Championship, Boxing, and BKFC. Let’s dive into the biggest results and storylines from each promotion.
The UFC returned to the Apex in Las Vegas, featuring a high-stakes flyweight showdown between Manel Kape and Asu Almabayev. Kape put on a striking clinic, controlling the pace and landing significant shots before finishing Almabayev with a third-round TKO at 2:15. This victory marks Kape’s sixth win in the UFC, putting him in a strong position to challenge for a title shot in the near future.
In the co-main event, Cody Brundage made a statement with a first-round TKO against Julian Marquez at 4:45. Brundage showcased his aggressive approach, overwhelming Marquez with pressure and striking volume.
Other standout moments included Nasrat Haqparast’s hard-fought split decision win over Esteban Ribovics in a battle that saw both fighters land clean shots. Sam Patterson’s first-round TKO over Danny Barlow at 3:10 further highlighted the night’s finishing prowess, while Mario Pinto continued his undefeated run with a second-round knockout of Austen Lane at 0:39. The event reinforced the UFC’s growing talent pool and provided fans with plenty of highlight-reel finishes.
ONE Championship delivered another thrilling event from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, where Muay Thai specialists displayed their world-class skills. In the main event, Chartpayak Saksatoon put on a striking masterclass against Kongchai Chanaidonmueang, winning via unanimous decision. Chartpayak’s superior timing and combinations kept Kongchai off balance throughout the fight, securing him a clear victory.
The card also featured Nong Oh LaoLaneXang’s devastating knockout win, which came just 24 seconds into the second round. His precise elbow strike left his opponent unable to continue, further solidifying Nong Oh’s reputation as a knockout artist.
Another standout moment came when Chabakaew Sor KanJanchai delivered a highlight-reel finish with a third-round knockout over Gusjung Fairtex. The technical striking and relentless aggression on display throughout the event once again emphasized why ONE Championship is a global leader in stand-up combat sports.
Gervonta "Tank" Davis stepped into the ring at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr., but the fight ended in controversy with a majority draw. The judges scored the fight 115-113 in favor of Davis, while the other two scored it 114-114, leaving the title picture unclear.
Statistically, Roach Jr. had the edge in volume, out-throwing Davis by 121 total punches and landing 112 total strikes to Davis’s 103. Roach also controlled the jab exchanges, landing 25 compared to Davis’s 10. However, Davis made up for it in power punches, landing 93 to Roach’s 87, and showing his signature ability to land clean, damaging shots.
One of the most talked-about moments came in the ninth round when Davis appeared to take a knee due to an eye issue, but the referee did not rule it as a knockdown. Many believed this call impacted the final result, as scoring the moment as a knockdown could have shifted the fight in Roach’s favor.
Both fighters have since expressed interest in a rematch, with fans eagerly anticipating a more decisive outcome should they meet again.
BKFC provided yet another night of all-out violence, with a main event that instantly became one of the promotion’s most memorable fights. Keith Richardson and Bekhzod Usmonov went to war, engaging in a fight that featured an incredible eight knockdowns before Richardson landed the final, decisive blow. The dramatic back-and-forth action had fans on their feet, with many calling it one of the best fights in BKFC history.
In the co-main event, local favorite Donald Sanchez continued his dominance in the bare-knuckle ranks, securing a fourth straight victory with a decision win over Harrison Aiken. Sanchez’s technical boxing and experience allowed him to control the pace, positioning him as a strong contender for a title shot in the near future.
Other fights on the card provided similar levels of excitement, with multiple knockouts and brawls that kept the Albuquerque crowd energized throughout the night.

Dubai is a city where the future isn’t something to wait for but something to create. It has transformed from desert sands into a world-leading hub of innovation, commerce, and ambition in just a few decades. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum recently reaffirmed this philosophy, clarifying that Dubai thrives on action and execution. The city attracts those who refuse to wait for opportunity and instead forge their paths. Here, success is not handed out—it is earned through relentless effort, discipline, and an unshakable commitment to excellence.
Dubai is a land where people do not play the victim card, the race card, or any other excuse-driven narrative. This city does not reward self-pity or entitlement. It rewards those who take responsibility for their lives, regardless of background, nationality, or past circumstances. There is no tolerance for mediocrity or complaints about fairness. The system is simple: deliver results, work relentlessly, and prove your worth, and the rewards will follow. Those who seek handouts, expect special treatment, or blame external forces for their shortcomings will not thrive here. Dubai belongs to those with the mindset to rise, regardless of challenges.
What sets Dubai apart is its meritocracy approach. Talent, effort, and execution determine success—not privilege, legacy connections, or political narratives. The government has created an environment where professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors can thrive, but only if they bring real value. Unlike in many places where bureaucracy and inefficiency slow progress, Dubai moves forward at an unmatched pace. The city rewards those who deliver and holds those who underperform accountable. Dubai has become a magnet for those serious about achieving greatness.
To succeed here, one must possess extreme inner strength. The pace is relentless, and the standards are non-negotiable. It is not enough to have ambition—one must have the discipline to stay consistent, the resilience to adapt, and the drive to execute. Those who expect easy rewards or sympathy will not last. Those who push themselves, embrace challenges, and refuse to quit will thrive.
Dubai operates with precision. Its world-class infrastructure, economic policies, and business ecosystem exist because of an unwavering commitment to discipline. In this city, contracts are honored, commitments mean something, and trust is built through action. If you say you are going to do something, you do it. If you commit to a goal, you follow through. Success is built on reliability, and reputation is everything. There are no shortcuts—only results.
Respect for the rule of law is another foundation of Dubai’s success. Unlike in many parts of the world, where corruption slows progress, Dubai consistently enforces its statutes. This creates stability, fairness, and an environment where businesses can scale confidently. Global investors and top-tier talent come here because they know their work will be protected, their contributions valued, and their efforts rewarded. In this environment, integrity matters, and only the strongest competitors thrive.
Dubai is not a place for endless talk—it is a city of action. Many people spend their lives discussing what they will do but never take steps to make it happen. Here, success is reserved for those who move, build, and execute. There is no room for hesitation or fear. The ones who rise are the ones who take risks, think strategically, and turn ambition into reality. This is a city for those who get things done.
Hard work and resilience are not optional in Dubai—they are the foundation for success. The people who thrive here show up daily with a relentless mindset, a drive to be the best, and a refusal to quit. They do not expect an easy path. They embrace the challenges, find solutions, and push forward. This is why Dubai has set global business, innovation, and lifestyle standards.
The people of Dubai do not see success as a solo achievement—it is a shared vision. The city thrives because of a collective commitment to progress, where individuals contribute to something greater than themselves. Unlike in places where success is often built at the expense of others, Dubai operates differently. There is a belief in raising others, fostering collaboration, and ensuring growth benefits the entire ecosystem. Here, those who contribute, innovate, and support others are the ones who truly succeed.
This philosophy aligns with the 1% lifestyle brand. The 1% is not about privilege—it is about performance. It represents those who demand the best from themselves, push their limits, and refuse to settle for mediocrity. Those who succeed in Dubai live by these principles. They know that words are meaningless without action, that excuses do not build legacies, and that success is earned through effort, precision, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Dubai is set apart from other global cities by the rule of law, discipline, and an unshakable work ethic. People here do not waste time blaming others for their circumstances, relying on government bailouts or social programs to save them, or waiting for success to come to them. They go out and make it happen.
Dubai does not tolerate mediocrity. It is not a city for those who seek comfort or complacency. It is for those who want to push themselves further than they thought possible. Expectations are high, but the rewards for those who rise to the challenge are unparalleled.
The city does not reward empty words; it rewards execution. Those who build, innovate, and take control of their future will find unlimited opportunities here. Dubai is not for those who need permission to succeed. It is for those willing to step up, take risks, and prove themselves daily.
If you are ready to embrace discipline, operate with absolute integrity, and commit to a life of action, Dubai is the place for you. It does not wait. It does not slow down. It does not tolerate excuses. It is built for those who want to lead, create, and shape their future. 🚀🧠💪
